NEW YORK - Nyenta -- Fierce Foundry proudly announces its launch as the first-ever FemTech Venture Studio centered on supporting female founders in the rapidly expanding FemTech industry. With a mission to solve the inequality in VC funding for female founders and the gap in women's healthcare, this new Venture Studio will co-found FemTech companies from idea to exit.
"Fierce Foundry is on a mission to shatter barriers and redefine the landscape of FemTech entrepreneurship and further investment in all women and the economy," says Melissa Wallace, Founder and CEO of Fierce Foundry. "By co-founding companies led by strong female founders, we will unleash the full potential of innovation in women's health and wellness. Ultimately, this will drive more exits, and in turn more investment in women - female founders and the individuals who benefit from the products they build - worldwide."
The FemTech industry, defined by Fierce Foundry as "technology for the health and wellness of women and the people in their lives," encompassing technologies addressing women's health and wellness needs, has witnessed exponential growth in recent years. Yet the representation of female founders remains disproportionately low. According to recent studies by McKinsey & Company, only 1.9% of VC venture capital funding went to female-founded startups in 2023, despite women making up 40% of all entrepreneurs globally.

At the helm of Fierce Foundry is a star-studded team of industry veterans and visionary leaders committed to championing diversity and inclusion in entrepreneurship. With decades of combined experience in venture capital, technology, and healthcare, the team brings unparalleled expertise and a shared passion for driving meaningful change in the FemTech ecosystem. What's more, Fierce Foundry now includes team members behind the recently sunsetted FemHealth Founders, an innovation hub focused on empowering female founders in the Heartland to build and lead profitable, women-centric companies offering solutions to women's health-related issues.
