Aflevering How A Femtech Pioneer Is Fixing Women's Health Infrastructure With Ida Tin | Ep. 140

What if women's health is not a niche, but infrastructure? In this episode of Women Disrupting Tech, I talk with Ida Tin, the woman who coined the term FemTech and co-founder of Clue, one of the world's leading women's health apps. Together, we unpack why innovation in women's health has stalled, what a missing data set is costing us, and why fixing it may be the highest-return investment in the global economy. This episode is for women in tech, femtech founders, and investors who believe women's health deserves to be treated as foundational infrastructure — not a funding afterthought.
