Back Women. That’s empowerment.
Women represent 51% of the world population, but less than 2% of funding allocated to research within the health sector is focused on women’s specific needs.
Women spend an average of 9 years in poor health across their lives – 25% more than men experience. This equates to 7 days per year of lost productivity of women*.
A shift toward personalized care tailored to women’s needs is reshaping investment — with “health” becoming the new “beauty”.
Women are proactively taking charge of their holistic wellbeing, including financial health, through tech.
The Women’s Health sector was valued
at about $40 billion in 2023.
It is projected to grow to
$65+ billion by 2031**.
By 2030 women in the USA are projected to
amass between $30 and $34 trillion***.
Investments in companies with at least 1 female founder outperform investments in all-male founded teams by 63%****.
More Women’s Health companies are at least (co)founded by women.
Startups founded or co-founded by women perform better over time, generating 10% more revenue over 5 years****.
The rise of women-led unicorns in the sector adds to the momentum.
