SOSV's highly-rated matchmaking event on women's health takes place next week
As a reader of my newsletter, you won’t need convincing about why innovation and investment in Women’s Health matters.
The global venture firm SOSV is one of the world’s most active VC investors in Women’s Health, supporting over 20 startups including Kegg, a fertility & vaginal health tracker that recently raised $6.5M.
Next week, to support the women’s health ecosystem, SOSV is running a FREE, virtual matchmaking event, which is already on track to connect 100 investors with 100 founders.
Register to SOSV’s Women’s Health Matchup here:
This event is aimed at startup founders and investors working on all the medical and health challenges specific to women, including reproductive health, hormonal conditions, and gynecological cancers and more. It also covers startups working on broader health challenges that impact women in specific ways, including mental health, heart disease, osteoporosis and more.

Does it work?
SOSV ran its first virtual matchup in 2022. SOSV had never seen something like this work before. Yet, it proved so effective that they now run four each year on different themes (climate, health and more).
Those events attract hundreds of participants and the largest close to 2,000. The average rating from investors is 8.4/10 and from founders is 8/10.
While not every startup will be able to convince investors to meet or fund them, the events have attracted 2,000+ investors and 3,000+ founders who had over 10,000 meetings.
While SOSV is not able to track the deals that ensued, SOSV alone invested in 8 startups they met through those events.
Last, SOSV keeps improving events each time to improve targeting and reduce friction.
