Fierce Foundry, a new venture studio, has been introduced to support female founders in the femtech industry. The initiative, led by Founder and CEO Melissa Wallace, aims to address funding disparities and provide a structured pathway for women-led startups from idea to exit. The studio focuses on critical areas such as the future and societal impact of investing in women, challenges women face in later-stage venture capital funding, and the potential of studio models to revolutionize opportunities for women in technology.
The venture studio, through a hands-on approach, aims to provide female founders with the resources, mentorship, and capital they need to succeed. Melissa Wallace, along with a team of experienced professionals, including members from the recently closed FemHealth Founders accelerator, leads the Fierce Foundry team.

The goal is to unleash the full potential of innovation in women’s health and wellness, drive more exits, and ultimately, lead to more investment in women worldwide.
