FemTech Fundamentals with Longevity Capital Managing Partner Kate Batz

Legally Femtech

In this episode, Bethany Corbin and Kate Batz discuss:

• Why women’s health companies don’t get the attention they deserve
• Creating progress in FemTech
• Addressing women’s health span
• Bringing attention to your health

Key Takeaways:

• Women’s health companies don’t get the attention they deserve because only 4% of tech investment goes into life sciences and part of the reason why is that femtech is relatively young and is still an emerging industry.
• Creating more progress would require companies to focus on getting funding and to do that, they have to spread awareness on FemTech and women’s health care.
• Women live longer, but not necessarily healthier since they have specific health needs that need to be addressed with solutions built to solve those problems.
• Bring more attention to FemTech by bringing more attention to your own health. Whether you are a startup or a user, be curious and strive to discover more in the space of FemTech.

“One of our goals is to bring more focus to FemTech because it is an under-serviced sector and women comprise half of the population. We live longer, not necessarily healthier.” - Kate Batz
