Where We Are Investing Now: FemTech
Women supporting women in everything related to being women is a growing and powerful global trend. The worldwide female 51% is demanding new and better approaches to every part of their lives. This is manifestly true in Delightful Moments, which lie at the core of our investment thesis.
According to Emergen Research, the global FemTech market is expected to reach $60 Billion by 2027. Not surprising. When half the people on the planet commit to change, we see a singular investment opportunity. With that in mind, we intend to continue to invest in these specific areas, exemplified in the thriving companies in our current portfolio:
- Sexual pleasure products (like Dame and Unbound Babes)
- Telemedicine
- Nutrition and exercise (like Oga)
- Social communities where women can support each other in myriad ways
- Innovative fertility, pelvic health, and women’s health companies that are dilligenced through our biotech lens (like She’s Well, Pollie, and BioAesthetics)
- Maternal and child care, menopause, genomics, and mental health (like Expectful, Attn: Grace, Madorra, Embr Labs, and Rosy)
We will also selectively invest in tools that augment and support clinicians in providing access to women’s health generally, but in particular for marginalized populations.
We think women and their health matter. Heck, half of our team are women and so they are not merely investors, but also active participants in and beneficiaries of the new worldwide female empowerment movement. We believe our commitment to FemTech is good investing. But we also believe it is simply good.
If you know any great entrepreneurs focused on innovative FemTech, we would love to hear about them.
