About

Why we exist
Women’s health innovation needs the right people around the table.
Building a women’s health company comes with challenges that most general accelerators aren’t built to navigate. Founders need access to people who understand the clinical, regulatory and commercial realities and who can help open the right doors.
That expertise exists, as do the investors, mentors, health systems and industry partners who want to help move this work forward. They just need a better way to find each other.
That’s why we created FemTech USA: to bring the people building, funding, advising and commercializing women’s health innovation together.
Why Philadelphia. Why now.
A world-class life sciences ecosystem. Now connected around women’s health.
- Philadelphia already brings together extraordinary research institutions, health systems, clinicians, life-sciences companies, entrepreneurs and capital.
- FemTech USA isn’t trying to recreate that ecosystem. We’re connecting it around women’s health.
FemTech USA is the connective tissue between Philadelphia and women's health.

Continuum of care
Innovation across the whole journey, not one stage of it.
Women's health has been underfunded, under researched, and under served, at every point along the care journey, not just at the clinic door. FemTech USA supports companies building across the full continuum, so the gap closes end-to-end.
- Prevention
- Detection
- Diagnosis
- Precision Medicine
- Treatment
- Navigation
- Side-effect Management
- Monitoring
- Care Community
Our commitments
What we stand for.
Built for real-world impact
We back founders building diagnostics, devices, therapeutics and technology designed to improve women’s health and make a measurable difference.
Inclusive by definition
Femtech here means technology for health that solely, disproportionately, or differently affects women, girls, non-binary people, trans people, and those assigned female at birth.
Capital with context
Investors in our rooms come with a mandate in the category, not curiosity. Diligence is shared with clinicians and operators who have shipped.
Public and private conversations
Open gatherings bring the broader community together. Closed-door sessions give founders, payers, and health systems the space to talk candidly about pilots, pricing, evidence gaps, and what it takes to move forward.
Other Programs
A shared commitment to women’s health.
Women’s health innovation moves faster when the right people are connected. Femtech Canada and Femtech Across Borders (FAB) have proven what that looks like: building ecosystems in Canada and around the world. FemTech USA carries that same belief forward across the U.S., bringing founders, mentors, investors and partners together.
We’re independent organizations with a shared goal: helping women’s health innovation move forward.
