Femtech Forward

Join Femtech Canada, Esplanade Ventures, and BDC Thrive Venture Fund for Femtech Forward, a gathering for Canada’s women’s health innovation ecosystem.

We’ll open with a 30-minute fireside chat featuring pre-seed and seed investors unpacking the current state of women’s health investment: where capital is flowing, what founders need to know, and where the biggest opportunities lie.

Following the panel, selected companies will take part in exclusive 10-minute speed networking sessions with investors and partners actively investing in the space. Speed networking requires a separate application – APPLY HERE

Alongside our investor community, we’re bringing together strategic partners from major retail, insurance, and healthcare organizations who are actively exploring partnerships, pilots, and investment in the women’s health space, connecting founders with the players shaping how this category scales in Canada.

This event is open to the full ecosystem: investors, partners, and pre-seed/seed founders working in women’s health innovation. Whether you’re building, investing, or supporting this space, we want you in the room.

What to expect:

• Fireside chat with women’s health investors
• Speed networking with investors and strategic partners (by application)
• Networking with Canada’s femtech and women’s health community
