watch nowInvestors are ignoring a huge subsection of tech because it's considered "taboo" – despite the fact that it is set to be worth $1 trillion by 2027. But just 3.3% of digital health investment in the U.S. went towards women's health between 2011 and 2020, according to digital consultancy Rock Health. Research by Women's Health Access Matters suggests that a $300 million investment into improving female health could generate around $13 billion. It is now one of the largest companies in the FemTech space and has a revenue of $100 million. The issue of not understanding women's health – and the importance of female-specific health solutions – has deeper roots.

Investors are ignoring a huge subsection of tech because of its "taboo" nature – even though it is set to be worth $1 trillion by 2027. The term "FemTech" was coined in 2016, and it includes all tech and innovations designed to solve health issues suffered solely, differently, or disproportionately by women. But there are considerable gains to be made from the FemTech sector, including wider economic and social advantages. A $300 million investment into improving female health could generate around $13 billion, according to Women's Health Access Matters, a nonprofit organization focused on funding for women's health research. So, are investors missing out by ignoring FemTech?
