TESTIMONIALS & SUCCESS STORIES

INNOVATION SHOWCASE

Now in its 4th iteration, we’ve decided to shake things up! This year, across two days, 10 reproductive health startups will be picked by our prestigious selection committee of investors to take to the stage in front of strategic partners and potential collaborators. Each startup will have 5 minutes to demonstrate their vision of the future of reproductive health and how their product, technology, or service fits into it. This will be followed by 5 minutes of live Q&A led by a panel of expert investor judges. At the end of each showcase, the winner will be selected based on a combined audience and judges vote and receive a prize bundle.

Applications close December 8.

Thank you to our investors:
