Investment thesis
FemHealth Ventures invests in women's health innovations, guided by its proprietary FemHealth Framework (first published 2019) that categorizes women's health conditions into three groups: those appearing only in women (e.g. endometriosis, PCOS, cervical cancer), mostly in women (e.g. breast cancer, lupus, multiple sclerosis), and differently in women (e.g. heart disease, diabetes, asthma). The firm emphasizes that biological sex differences at the cellular level mean diseases can present differently in women and require distinct treatment approaches. It views women's health as a large, underserved, high-growth market opportunity while seeking exceptional returns.
