About Us
We Specialize in Female Health Innovation
Founded in 2019, FemHealth Insights is a boutique advisory firm specializing exclusively in women’s health innovation.
We defined femtech in 2020 as: “Solutions addressing conditions that solely, disproportionately, or differently affect females, women, and girls.” A definition widely used across the industry today.
In 2021, we published one of the first comprehensive market evaluations demonstrating women’s health as a $1.2T+ opportunity — research cited globally by major strategy firms and institutions.
Our work sits at the intersection of science, commercialization, capital, and global health impact.
We’re dedicated to raising awareness of women's health concerns and catalyzing investment in research, innovation, and product development to improve women’s quality of life.
