FemTech and Women’s Healthtech is becoming increasingly prominent particularly in the innovation and tech sectors. However there is still a fundamental lack of early stage investment education specific to this industry.
To address this gap, Health Innovation North East and North Cumbria and the North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, in partnership with Lifted Ventures, are delighted to announce the launch of ‘The Northern FemTech and Women’s Health Tech Accelerator Programme‘, a gateway to early stage investment.
This fully funded programme brings together FemTech and Women’s Healthtech innovative businesses, alongside investment ecosystem members, to provide a cohesive accelerator programme for 10 business founders working in these sectors.
We are calling for applications from innovators that are solutions focused, comfortable with taking risks, interested in learning more about investment options and have designed, developed and launched a FemTech or Women’s Health business idea which is ready to be accelerated to the next level.
If your business provides products and/or services that will support the improvement of health outcomes for women and girls, and may solve major issues in areas such as fertility, contraception, menopause, early diagnosis of cancer and other long term conditions, this accelerator programme could be the opportunity to take your innovation to the next level. The programme will enable you to develop your innovation and brand, increase your understanding of the investment landscape and ultimately, introduce you to investors, supporters and mentors who specialise in this sector.
This programme is open to startups, early stage businesses and founders who operate in the FemTech and Women’s Health tech sectors and want to learn more about access to finance and investment. The programme consists of a 8 sessions, delivered both as in person events taking place in Newcastle upon Tyne and virtual workshops, where you’ll hear from industry experts and learn how to make your business investment ready. The programme concludes with an opportunity to pitch your business to seasoned investors, including angel investors.
