This month’s Meet the Founder series is about Tania Boler, the visionary who transformed her own pregnancy revelation into Elvie, one of the UK's most successful femtech companies. Tania has raised a record-breaking £136M+ in funding and challenged male-dominated investment rooms where women's health was once called "too niche" (despite addressing 51% of the global population!).

Tania sees enormous potential in AI for early detection of women's health conditions like endometriosis.
