    Our Guest
    Elina Berglund is the Co-Founder of Natural Cycles, a fertility-tracking application that entered the market in 2013. A native of Sweden, Berglund, an engineering physicist, completed her PhD at CERN. It was there that she began searching for the elusive Higgs boson particle. In 2012, following the discovery of the Higgs boson and being part of the team awarded the Nobel Prize for that feat, Berglund started to focus on family life, and it was during that time that she began seeking alternative contraceptive pill options. She created a powerful algorithm, used to identify the fertile window in a woman’s cycle, which led to the path of entrepreneurship she is on today. To date, Natural Cycles is used by over 3 million people in over 200 countries, proving that Berglund is a true difference maker.
