Femtech—it’s more expansive than you think
We’re just at the tip of the iceberg when it comes to transforming the health of all women. Just 3% of all digital health funding since 2011 has focused on women’s health—65% of which has gone to supporting fertility and pregnancy/motherhood. But the Femtech opportunity extends much further—we see an untapped market capable of supporting the diversity of women’s experiences, with an emphasis on addressing health inequities and tackling stigmatized conditions. Check out 12 Femtech areas we’re excited to invest in.
At the ninthRock Health Summit we’ll sit down (virtually) with speakers including Natalist CEO Halle Tecco and Folx Health CEO A.G. Breitenstein to discuss designing digital health solutions for women. Here’s a sneak peek of the Rock Health Summit 2020 agenda—get your early bird ticket before 8/10.
