Investors' interest in women's health is growing, but we still have a long way to go.
When I founded Visana, we were focused on conditions like endometriosis and fibroids - conditions that have impacted many women in my family. Despite impacting over 1 in 3 women, investors often had never heard of these conditions.
Some investors are expanding their view of "women's health," no longer considering it a "check the box" in the portfolio, often focused on maternity. Instead, they're taking a more comprehensive approach to women's health, with multiple investments across conditions that uniquely, differently, or disproportionately impact women across all life stages.
We're still in early days in women's health. Sorely needed innovation will continue to get funded, especially as we see an increase in female investors get promoted within their firms.
