Connect with pioneering scientists, founders, and innovators who are transforming women's health despite decades of underfunding and limited research. Learn how bold entrepreneurs are developing life-changing solutions, meet the researchers filling critical knowledge gaps, and discover how real-world data is reshaping evidence standards in an underserved field.
This event brings together researchers, entrepreneurs, healthcare evaluators, and investors who are committed to advancing women's health innovation responsibly while meeting the enormous unmet demand for solutions.
Women's health has been systematically under-researched, leaving innovators to navigate a landscape with significant knowledge gaps. Yet passionate founders are creating breakthrough solutions for menstruation, bladder health, contraception, pelvic pain, menopause, and postnatal care. From precision contraception and continuous hormone monitoring to microbiome research and postnatal devices, these innovators are demonstrating how we can balance rigorous safety standards with the bold innovation women's health deserves. This is a fantastic opportunity to connect with change-makers and to join the conversation about building a more equitable future for women's health.

Asthma disproportionately affects women, who experience higher mortality and hospitalisation rates than men.
Breath Predict is developing non-invasive breath analysis technology to identify biomarkers associated with asthma exacerbations and respiratory inflammation. By combining advanced chemical sensing with AI-driven analytics, we aim to improve risk prediction, enable personalised management, and support earlier intervention.
At this Thursday Gathering, Breath Predict is collecting samples live to improve their data set and understanding of asthma in women. If you are interested in their mission, please feel free to pop in for a couple of minutes for an assessment.
Our Thursday Gatherings are for you to make serendipitous connections and make things happen!
There will be meaningful networking opportunities throughout the night, accompanied by a selection of refreshments and activities:

A 20-Minute Misodama Workshop for FemHealth Innovators
In the high-stakes world of health-tech, "instant" usually means a sacrifice: a skipped lunch, a processed snack, or a caffeine-fueled sprint that leads to burnout. We’ve been taught that fast is the enemy of quality. But what if "instant" could be an act of radical self-compassion?
Join us for a hands-on session merging the ancient art of Japanese fermentation with the fast-paced needs of a modern innovator. We aren't making "fast food"; we are crafting Instant Slow Food. By hand-rolling Misodama (portable miso soup balls), you are pre-loading a week of probiotic, hormone-supporting nourishment. It’s a 60-second pick me up designed by you, for the future version of you that’s too busy changing the world.
Introduction from Venture Café London.
Women's health has historically been underfunded and under-researched, leaving innovators to navigate a landscape with significant knowledge gaps.
This panel brings together scientists, entrepreneurs, and healthcare evaluators to explore how we can advance women's health innovation responsibly while meeting the enormous demand for solutions. With a unique perspective on how science plays a role in women’s health innovation, the panellists will discuss the challenges of developing products with limited foundational science, the evolving role of real-world data and publishing academic articles using Femtech company data, and how we can balance rigorous safety standards with the bold innovation women's health deserves.
