Takeaways

  1. Investors invest in things they are personally affected by. When investors are mostly men, they do not fully comprehend the need for femtech products.
  2. Many investors are men that do not want to sit on boards that require them to discuss words like ‘vagina’ or talk about things they know nothing about
  3. Femtech has a stigma of being a niche market when in fact it is one of the single biggest markets targeting half the population
