A McKinsey study in 2022 estimated FemTech market size to be between $500 million and $1 billion, with projected double-digit revenue growth.

We have made it to Women's Health Innovation Series' FemTech and Consumer Innovation Summit in New Jersey! Two days of emphasizing about the importance of innovation and progress in women's health and sharing the challenges founders have experienced in this field have been both inspiring and frustrating. You can ask any woman about any aspect of their health and you will hear the same story - being ignored, not being supported, being lost and not being taking seriously. Their stories led to the boom of "FEMTECH" - a whole industry dedicated to change the norm and close the gender gap. Yet, there seems to be another story that is on repeat. Women who have taken charge and developed innovative products to tackle these issues are now out there and doing what needs to be done; however, their stories still remain the same - being ignored, not being supported, being lost and not being taking seriously. What this event does prove though is that women have two superpowers - resilience and empathy. It was such a joy to meet female founders who are so passionate about their work and are choosing to keep going every single day. Throughout their stress and constant struggles they also choose to help fellow founders to make sure that women's health is constantly progressing one way or the other. Shout out to the organisers of the event Aoife McGrath (Eefa) - it was great seeing you again. Very happy to have met many amazing femtech founders, especially the girls who took me out to dinner yesterday Maria De Santis, Amy Buckalter, McCall Brinskele, Leslie Feingerts, Rachel Braun Scherl, Jane Merten, Shagun Maheshwari - the dinner conversation will be one to remember. So many connections were made and it is exciting to see the collaborations that will flourish beyond the pond! Woost is always welcoming new partnerships. Let's rise together 🚀 #femtech #womenshealth #femalefounders #pcos #menstrualblood #beyondthepond #collaborations #letsstandtogether

In today's world, technology has revolutionized every aspect of our lives, and FemTech is one such sector that is transforming women's healthcare. It's not just a trend, but a crucial shift towards addressing the unique healthcare needs of women that have historically been overlooked. While we are still grappling with gender bias and breaking down the barriers faced by women entrepreneurs, the FemTech sector is witnessing a significant evolution. We are proud to be part of this transformative journey, along with Susan Sly, the CEO & Founder of The Pause Technology, and Lisa Marceau, the Founder of Joyuus. As FemTech founders, we are committed to breaking down barriers and addressing the specific healthcare needs of women.

Target Elevate 2024 event was indeed a powerful and inspirational gathering for women in technology, with insightful talks from various speakers. Here's a summary of what struck me deeply about the talks given by Navneet Kapoor, Alina Alam, and Shwetambari Shetty: Navneet Kapoor highlighted the common experience of confusion regarding career paths and the importance of feedback in navigating through these choices. Understanding that confusion is a normal part of the career journey can be reassuring for many individuals. Alina Alam's talk centered around her passion for creating societal change through Mitti Cafe, showcasing her journey of overcoming challenges. Her story inspired attendees by demonstrating the impact of determination and resilience in pursuing meaningful goals. Shwetambari Shetty emphasized the significance of prioritizing personal health, particularly highlighting how we often neglect the well-being of the ourselves. Her examples served as a reminder of the importance of self-care through simple steps and the need to address health issues proactively. These insights reflect the diverse perspectives and experiences shared at the event, providing attendees with valuable knowledge and inspiration to navigate their own professional and personal journeys. #TargetElevate2024
