Takeaways
- Investors invest in things they are personally affected by. When investors are mostly men, they do not fully comprehend the need for femtech products.
- 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
- Femtech has a stigma of being a niche market when in fact it is one of the single biggest markets targeting half the population
