Dame Products was founded by smart women with the purpose of making phenomenal sex toys. Their continuing mission: to design well-engineered sex toys, to heighten intimacy, and to openly empower the sexual experiences of humankind.
Behind Dame are Alex and Jenet.
Alex got her Masters in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University in 2011, focusing on her lifelong interest: sexuality. From volunteering with the Red Cross to hosting a sex talk radio show, she’s always pursued opportunities to learn more about sexual health. Her experience at other consumer packaged goods startups gave her the know-how to start her own company.
Janet earned her mechanical engineering degree from MIT in 2007 before starting her career in product development, designing everything from dustpans to 3D printers. She worked for companies like Z Corp, Quirky, and Makerbot before deciding to turn her engineering efforts to the often-overlooked field of sex toys.
They believe sex toys should satisfy real women’s needs. Instead of starting with a flashy feature or a kooky shape, they begin their design process with focus groups and scientific research. If it doesn’t fit into your sex life, then it doesn’t fit on their roadmap.
