Iman Clark, CEO of Prickly Pear Health, says she had an epiphany that eventually led her to TechCrunch’s Startup Battlefield at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025. “That’s when I realized we are not really solving for women’s biology, and that is costing us lives and dollars.”So she created Prickly Pear Health, which provides medical support for women’s brain health, a voice-first, AI-powered companion that helps women in their 30s to 50s navigate the hormonal changes that affect brain health. Prickly Pear Health will show of its tech at TechCrunch Disrupt, which runs October 27 to 29 in San Francisco. Helping women recognize and act on early signals before they escalate into more serious health challenges later,” she said. “That’s when Prickly Pear came to life because that’s the fruit that grows in the cactus tree, and it was an inspiration of thriving in harsh conditions and joyful resilience,” she said.
