From Undervalued to Unavoidable: Treating Women's Health as Infrastructure

Episode Description

Women's health isn't a cause, it's infrastructure. Med tech founder Marissa Fayer breaks down why closing the women's health gap is worth a trillion dollars a year, and why capital still isn't following.

In this conversation:

  • Why dense breast tissue affects up to 70% of women, and how software can cut repeat scans
  • Why only about 6% of private healthcare capital goes to conditions that affect women
  • How menopause and perimenopause hit during women's most productive career years, and what employers get wrong
  • Why the women's health market is mispriced, not unproven
  • How the funding conversation looks different across the US, Africa, and Asia
