Investment in women’s health innovations has been increasing, thanks partly to Portfolia's efforts to empower women to invest in the sector. Since, and pioneering a FemTech fund in 2018, Portfolia has worked to demystify venture capital for women-accredited investors, driving investment into sectors that have traditionally been underfunded.
One of the bright spots in the last five to seven years has been a movement of women- and people of color-accredited investors into funds managed by people who look like them and understand their unmet needs. Investing in these funds provides an opportunity to create wealth for women and people of color.
The investments Porfolia’s FemTech I made versus FemTech III have evolved as the sector has taken off. Fund I investments were focused on very early-stage companies because so few companies had reached a later stage and on conditions that only affected women. Fund III is investing in a mix of companies, from pre-seed through pre-IPO, that invest in diseases and conditions that:Primarily affect women, like autoimmune disorders and Alzheimer’s.
