We accelerate women's health innovations
A global FemTech community and a 6-month equity free FemTech start-up acceleration program for companies developing innovative solutions to improve technologies relating to women’s health with international reach.
Tech4Eva was a high-quality program to have access to for Wild.AI. There were valuable connections made across relevant fields and markets - with mentors who were extremely helpful in providing insights, ideas, and connections. The program also had high quality sessions on various topics which became valuable for our team discussions. Learning from industry level experts, as well as having access to R&D in the FemTech space allowed us to accelerate our ideation process and move faster. Thanks, Tech4Eva for a brilliant program!
Tech4Eva and the entire team was eagerly on the look-out for opportunities helpful to Adira Health and the entire cohort. The fine-tuned program and mentoring was instrumental in getting us further off the ground. I enjoyed the greater community and network of startups, partners, like-minded and experts in healthcare for women. If you look for a program and a cohort that puts start-ups first – then Tech4Eva is perfect for you!
Fantastic top-organized program, allowing for a very broad view on the FemTech ecosystem and current developments, with world-class coaches, giving brilliant advice! Thanks for the honour to have been selected for this journey!
