The challenges facing founders in the Women’s Health space are as familiar as they are formidable. Inadequate research, insufficient funding, ongoing censorship and limited investor understanding mean that all too often, even the most brilliant founders are struggling to secure the funding they need. It’s a complex challenge that requires urgent action – but what’s to be done?
- It’s crucial to correct misconceptions and close knowledge gaps, both for founders seeking to position their businesses correctly, and investors.
- To convince potential investors of the opportunity on offer, founders need to support their passion with good unit economics and tell a story that goes beyond impact to appeal to institutional investors.
- Venture debt and other lending solutions may be a desirable option alongside equity for pre-revenue and revenue generating businesses. For founders looking to enjoy greater flexibility, these routes can help minimise dilution and maximise return for the founding team and investors.
The Women’s Health space comprises a number of active, passionate communities committed to addressing the pressing issues facing founders in the space.
We recently brought together a group of these disruptive, forward-thinking people from across the industry to encourage meaningful conversations that will effect change.
This short report summarises the key insights from that rich discussion.
