"It was exciting and manic and lots of great ideation and creation, but totally ridiculous," Jonathan Bush, founder and CEO of the startup Zus Health, said of digital health funding at its height. Funding in digital health tumbled to $12.6 billion as investors contended with rising interest rates amid a market downturn.

Last year, funding for women's health startups exploded to an impressive $2.5 billion, about a threefold increase from the previous year, according to data from McKinsey and Rock Health.

Insider asked top investors to nominate the most promising women's health startups they'd come across, both within and outside their portfolios.
