Hi from Women in Healthtech! Sharing latest events, resources and updates.

Last few weeks we held a brick and mortar panel with Lexi Henkel from Maverick VC, Dr. Komal Kothari Angel Investor, Founder of Reside, now an investor at Bling!, and Melissa Zoerb who is founding a brick and mortar stealthco. We also co-hosted a Techstars Physical Health x Women in Healthtech Happy Hour, reminder that applications for this cohort are open until May 22nd. I attended one of Charlie O’Donnell’s excellent offsites a couple of weeks ago, recommend following NEXT NYC for events and programming.
