Challenge

Be 1 of the 10 startups selected for Femtech France bootcamp

• Join this bootcamp to get a high level training on women’s health, the French healthcare system & the femtech industry.
  • Context/Need:
    • Femtech founders are mostly women and mostly patients. Most of the time they used to work in a very different industry (aeronautic, law, etc.), they had a health issue, couldn’t find a satisfying solution so decided to quit their job to launch a femtech startup offering the solution they were looking for.
    • But it’s super hard to enter the French healthcare industry when you don’t have the expertise nor the network. This is why they created this bootcamp, the goal is to quickly train aspiring femtech entrepreneurs, to give them the essential knowledge they’ll need to successfully enter the French healthcare market.
  • Expected Solutions:
    • They are looking for:
      • Products, services, drugs addressing specifically women.
      • Innovations in women’s health, and it doesn’t have to be necessarily a tech innovation but it definitely has to be disruptive (you will need to show them why and how it is new and innovative).
      • Projects with values and founders who want to make an impact.
  • Scope:
    • Femtech covers:
      • conditions affecting women solely (menstruations, pregnancy, etc.).
      • conditions affecting women disproportionately (depression, osteoporosis, etc.).
      • conditions affecting women differently (cardiovascular diseases, Alzheimer, etc.
