The Unseen Opportunity in Women’s Health

Women’s health is a market that is hiding in plain sight of investors. Women are 80% of the healthcare workforce, make 80% of household healthcare decisions, and spend 29% more per-capita on healthcare than men – yet only 4% of all R&D goes specifically to their healthcare products and needs and only about 1% of all venture capital healthcare funding goes to women’s health.

In this event, Linda Greub, Co-Founder/Managing Partner of Avestria Ventures, and Yolanda Fintschenko, Executive Director of Startup Tri-Valley, will share how they came to realize and take advantage of this unseen opportunity – and how others can as well. A fireside chat will follow, featuring Tracy Dooley, MD, a partner at Avestria Ventures, and Neil Ray MD, the Founder/CEO of Raydiant Oximetry.
