Springboard’s Women’s Health Accelerator

I’ve had an incredibly intense but inspiring week, listening in on founder presentations for the incoming cohort of Springboard Enterprises Women’s Health Accelerator.

Infographic showcasing metrics on company success, including over 940 companies, $76B value created, 28 IPOs, 90% of capital raised, 240 M&A events, and 10 unicorns.

It’s been incredible to hear all the innovations coming in women’s health – from diagnostics to medical devices to biotech solutions.

I have a whole new appreciation for why this accelerator has such a fantastic reputation. I was wildly impressed with the knowledge of current Council members – I learned as much (more!) from their questions as I did from listening to the founders.

It is was a privilege to be in the room, and I can’t wait to contribute to the success of these emerging companies once the new cohort is selected!
