In this presentation will mostly be focusing on reproductive health and postpartum related areas.
Contrary to popular belief, this is not a “niche” market. Women’s health is an incredibly large market and it will continue to grow.
As of May 2019, there was $310M invested in Femtech companies. The information for this was manually pulled from Pitchbook using our list of Femtech companies.
These are the categories of the companies we are tracking in the reproductive health area.
This is a market map with a subset of the companies in each category. It’s meant to illustrate some examples of emerging products and services in these categories.
This is as of May 2019. It was surprising to me to see that funding in the Menopause space was so incredibly low given how much of the population experiences this phase.
This is as of May 2019. We are very excited about the prospects of one of the Series C companies going public this year. This should drive up investor interest in the category.
Willow is a company in our portfolio.
Cleo is a company in our portfolio.
Ritual is a company in our portfolio.
Please reach out if you’re a founder in any of these categories and the categories listed above as well.
