We accelerate women's health innovations

Don't miss this event to connect with the ecosystem, get insights about the industry and research trends in Femtech and discuss the growing market opportunity!
Being accepted into the Tech4Eva program was the best thing that I ever experienced after participating in a few accelerator programs. Tech4Eva understands the FemTech space, the problems we have as Founders are trying to solve, and the challenges startups may encounter on that journey to saving the world. Being in the program is like having a big sister who guides and advises you, which is important when one embarks on this journey. I also got to learn a lot from fellow Founders and it was heartening to learn that the challenges we encounter are not just local but worldwide.
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 !
Listening to and evaluating other companies pitches allowed me to clearly recognize both highlights and gaps - that reflected back onto my company.
