The femtech landscape is often dominated by clinical jargon and high-cost interventions.

Tess Isabelle Cosad, co-founder and CEO of Béa Fertility, wanted to change that with Béa Fertility. 

With her company, Cosad wanted to center clarity, compassion, and a relentless drive to democratize reproductive care. 

Today, she is reimagining how fertility support can look and feel, replacing sterile clinics with warm and welcoming care. In 2020, the global FemTech Market was valued at $40.2 billion. By 2025, it’s expected to reach $75.1 billion.

Where there’s money, there is (finally) interest. 

How is a woman expected to age in the year 2025? Are we even allowed to? 

In the world of women's health and the pursuit of a long, healthy life, few names stand out as boldly as Roma van der Walt. 

As a former elite athlete turned entrepreneur, Roma has dedicated her career to empowering women with science-backed tools that enhance their well-being. 

Through her company, Vitelle, Roma is pioneering a new approach to health optimization. Among other offerings, Vitelle shares the knowledge and resources they need to take control of their bodies — and their futures.

Hi Friends! 

Today, we’re going to talk about someone who many working parents feel endless love and gratitude to. 

She has been called the Beyonce for toddlers and she served as a lifeline for many quarantine parents. Yes, we’re talking about Ms Rachel.  

Rachel Griffin Accurso, aka "Ms Rachel," is the pink headband-festooned savior that took residence on many televisions during the pandemic. When the time came to fling off the masks and feel the sun on our faces again, Ms Rachel was a certified star. 

Today, she is one of the most recognizable figures in children's educational entertainment. However (at least at time of publishing) it’s unlikely that you’ll see her face plastered on sugary cereal boxes or her overalled likeness plastic-ified in your Happy Meals. 

In a fast-paced world that is always clamoring for “More! More! More!” (ironically, also a common refrain in any household containing a toddler) Ms Rachel took care to create a business that is thoughtful, inclusive, and based in kindness towards everyone. 

When something you’ve prepared for doesn’t go as planned, what happens to your entire belief system?

That’s a question BirthSmarter founder, Ashley Brichter, had to grapple with after the birth of her first child— when all of her careful preparation and planning went out the window. 

Instead of reevaluating her beliefs and core values, Brichter leaned into them and kept them at the core of her business.

Building a business with integrity requires a steadfast commitment to core values. Even so, many companies lose track of their values while chasing revenue, growth, or the hundreds of other distractions that come with running and growing a business. 

BirthSmarter prioritizes inclusivity, education, and empowerment in the birth and parenting space. 

BirthSmarter isn’t just a business— it’s a movement designed to reshape the way families prepare for childbirth and parenting. Their core values are the lifeblood of their entire mission, and the explanation behind their success. 

“Going back to the workplace is easy,” said no parent, ever. But, imagine a world where the return to work was not fraught with stress, confusion, and complete overwhelm.

That was Vanessa Jupe’s dream when she founded Leva— and this dream only grows stronger. 

Leva means “to lift,” which is so appropriate when exploring a return to work. Once a child arrives, there’s a perception that the “tough work” is mostly finished. For the parents hysterically laughing at the last sentence, take a moment to laugh it out. 

Like many female founders in fem tech, Sylvia Kang learned this ugly set of TTC truths firsthand. 

After witnessing her friends struggle with their fertility, Kang was inspired to leave her corporate job and apply her biomedical degree to create a product that would be a game-changer for her friends and, ultimately, herself. 

Before at-home tests and trackers like Mira’s fertility trackers, women looking for fertility help could navigate their health insurance resources, copays, and underwhelming input from doctors—only to end up feeling more lost than they started. Here are the marketing tactics that work to build audiences and keep them engaged.
