Jessica Ching attended OCAD University with the full intention of becoming an industrial designer and no real intention of becoming an entrepreneur—that is, until she had to do a thesis project in her fourth year.
She was having a conversation with a group of women and the topic of cervical cancer came up. The general consensus was that the experience of getting tested for cervical cancer was uncomfortable and, as a result, many women do not get checked.
Jessica decided that she wanted to find a solution to this problem. She turned what was at first her thesis into Eve Medical, a company specializing in creating medical devices specifically for women’s healthcare needs.
