Women’s Health & Underfunded Access

Championing Women’s Health for Impact, Connections and Support

Women's health has historically been one of the most underfunded and underserved areas of healthcare innovation, despite affecting more than half the world's population. Reproductive health, menopause, maternal care, cardiovascular disease, pelvic health, neurological disease and mental health are chronic conditions that disproportionately impact women. There is enormous opportunity to improve outcomes through innovation.

We partner with entrepreneurs who are challenging outdated models of care, increasing access, and creating solutions that improve the lives of women across every stage of life. Whether a company is developing new technologies, modernizing care delivery, advancing diagnostics, or addressing long-overlooked conditions, we're committed to helping founders navigate the complexities of building in healthcare and life sciences.

From early-stage strategy through commercialization, we work alongside founders to transform innovative ideas into successful, scalable companies. We facilitate strategic introductions, connect entrepreneurs with clinical, regulatory, commercial, and industry experts, help refine go-to-market strategies, and open doors to future investors. Because building in women's health often requires educating markets, navigating complex regulatory pathways, and overcoming historical funding gaps, we provide the guidance, connections, and support needed to accelerate growth and maximize impact.

Advancing Policy and Advocacy

Advancing women's health requires more than new technologies; it requires leadership, collaboration, and a commitment to changing how women's health is prioritized. Big Tree is dedicated to helping strengthen the ecosystem that supports innovation, bringing together leaders across healthcare, government, and industry to help drive meaningful progress.

Big Tree advocates for greater awareness, increased research funding, and meaningful support for women's health by partnering with legislators, policymakers, healthcare leaders, researchers, and industry stakeholders to drive systemic change. We believe improving outcomes for women requires sustained investment in science, equitable access to high-quality care, and policies that recognize and address conditions that have been historically underfunded, understudied, or overlooked. Through these collaborations, we help shape a stronger women's health ecosystem—advancing research, accelerating innovation, and supporting the policies needed to transform how women's health is understood, prioritized, and treated across every stage of life.

Accelerating Women’s Health Innovation

Women's health is one of the most significant opportunities to improve health outcomes and advance healthcare innovation. At Big Tree, we champion founders developing solutions that address unmet clinical needs while advocating for the policies and research funding necessary to accelerate progress. By supporting exceptional founders with bold ideas, and the public initiatives that expand access, we are helping accelerate innovations that deliver lasting impact for patients, providers, and healthcare systems around the world.
