In this episode, Bethany Corbin and Kate Batz discuss:
- Why women’s health companies don’t get the attention they deserve
- Creating progress in FemTech
- Addressing women’s health span
- Bringing attention to your health
Key Takeaways:
- Women’s health companies don’t get the attention they deserve because only 4% of tech investment goes into life sciences and part of the reason why is that femtech is relatively young and is still an emerging industry.
- Creating more progress would require companies to focus on getting funding and to do that, they have to spread awareness on FemTech and women’s health care.
- Women live longer, but not necessarily healthier since they have specific health needs that need to be addressed with solutions built to solve those problems.
- Bring more attention to FemTech by bringing more attention to your own health. Whether you are a startup or a user, be curious and strive to discover more in the space of FemTech.
“One of our goals is to bring more focus to FemTech because it is an under-serviced sector and women comprise half of the population. We live longer, not necessarily healthier.” - Kate Batz

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
