Founded by Nicole Cuervo ‘16 in 2020, Springrose designs adaptive intimate apparel with the goal of improving the quality of life for women with limited mobility (eg. conditions like arthritis, shoulder injuries, MS, and stroke). Their innovative clothing technology empowers women to dress painlessly and independently.

Springrose’s journey began with an idea in 2015, was further pushed in ENGN 1010, and has since blossomed into a thriving venture, thanks to support from Brown Alumni mentors, Brad Falkof ’74 and Troy Henikoff ‘86 and successful fundraising efforts. It has raised an impressive $750K from grants and investors.

Springrose has also been a standout in various accelerator programs, including AARP Innovation Labs, Remarkable Accelerator, Zell Fellow, and 1871 LTNtech Founders. Their accolades include first place at the Kellogg Venture Challenge, third place at the Tulane Business Competition, and recognition as one of “100 Rising Latinx Founders to Watch” by Inicio Ventures.
