Femtech is one of those terms everyone uses and no one quite agrees on. Is it a category? A movement? A funding thesis?

This episode is a collaboration with the FemTech Real Money Talks podcast. We brought together Elena Lipilina — host, and founder of a femtech startup herself — and Mayra Hurtado, leader of Femtech Mexico and founder in her own right. Together we get into the big questions: where the money in femtech actually flows, what's blocking it, why the category is so hard to define — and whether emerging markets are the next frontier.

Because if the term is still confusing, the opportunity isn't.
