Your startup must fit within FemTech, HealthTech, or BioTech verticals. FemTech is defined as technology relating to women’s health. BioTech is defined as the technology of living systems to produce a product or service.
Your product must be in beta or already launched to the public. You may not apply if you are in the concept stage or in the prototype phase.
Note: Beta means your product is released and deployed to select users for initial testing to collect real-time feedback.
You cannot have raised more than $7M USD from combined sources.
Your startup must incorporate technology into the approach of your product, which allows the company to rapidly and massively scale in a manner that traditional, independent small businesses cannot. Please note that using tech (i.e. hosting a blog, selling products on your website, or using social media in your marketing) does not qualify as using tech to scale on a mass level nationally and globally.
Fast growing with degrees of innovation.
All ideas must be original work or an improvement upon an existing idea without infringements.
You must be a woman-led startup, defined as having at least one woman founder or cofounder on the team.
Note: Women Who Tech uses an inclusive definition of “woman” and “female”, and we welcome transwomen, genderqueer women, and non-binary people who identify as gender-nonconforming, female, and/or woman. People who identify within gender identities associated within the male and/or man spectrums are asked not to apply to uplift space and access for people of genders that are historically oppressed and underfunded.
