Driving growth, innovation and investment in Women’s Health & FemTech solutions
Discussing the dynamics in the European Women’s Health space, investment opportunities, deal flow and financial outcomes
- Looking at the deal flow gap compared to general healthcare, is the absence of investor support due to the lack of “sizeable exits”?
- What role do incumbents play in driving technology innovations in women’s health?
- Women’s Health solutions for gynaecology, fertility and maternity have garnered the largest funding, what about products that solve taboo topics (e.g., sexual health, menstrual health)? From an investor perspective what are the uncracked spaces? What are the crowded spaces?
- Is more commerciality from founders needed to drive growth in the space?
- Going to market in Europe- are there preferred enterprise routes? Is there a playbook?
