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.
We are excited about the opportunity to collaborate with Tech4Eva's brilliant mentors and to learn from peers about creating effective solutions for women in the 21st century. In particular, we hope to gain early exposure to diverse distribution strategies to ensure that our solution is accessible to all women who need it.
If you are in Femtech, Tech4Eva is for you. From great experts giving very relevant advice to other founders in your same boat, it's just a great program.
