O Positiv is a Los Angeles-based health & wellness brand built on the idea that small acts of self-care produce positive outcomes. We’ve created the first-ever PMS supplement, FLO Vitamins, designed to make periods and the symptoms that come with them more tolerable. Along with FLO we have products spanning many women’s health topics such as menopause, sexual health, pregnancy, and many more to come. Our team is small-yet-mighty, with big ambitions and an entrepreneurial spirit. We are a growth-stage startup gaining serious traction (check us out in Fortune, Forbes, Bloomberg, and Business Insider), with a strong brand presence and some amazing advisors. We’re growing quickly, and we’ll give you the opportunity to do the same.
