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 brings the swiss precision to a growing Femtech industry! We had the opportunity to connect and learn from international key market players, professors from EPFL and most importantly we nurture our passion for women’s health through interaction with a very inspiring community addressing pressing needs in women’s health.
Tech4Eva for me was more than an accelerator. The best part of the process is that it gave me the opportunity to learn how can I make my community understand the importance of my product. Thank you Tech4Eva !
Being in the Tech4Eva program helped in building connections with the FemTech world and Tech4Eva's partners and validate our go-to-market strategy and closing our seed round.
