ViVE 2022: How female founders, executives are driving the future of health tech

Leah Sparks founded Wildflower Health in 2012 to empower women by providing value-based maternity care that improves the health of mothers and babies. The company just scored a $26 million funding round, including investment from Providence Ventures, to drive further innovation in the women’s health space.

“It has been incredible to witness the shift in investor interest in women’s health over the past 10 years,” Sparks told Fierce Healthcare. “When I raised our seed round in 2013, I was consistently told women’s health was a ‘niche.’ Today, significant funding is coming into our space with so many talented female founders getting funded.”
