A Strategic Sprint for Women’s Health Innovators. “Ignite” is more than a webinar—it’s an actionable experience. With a real-time curriculum focused on real-world applications, participants will benefit from:

• Expert-led educational modules on unique value propositions, pitch deck development, and fundraising strategy.
• Live feedback and practice pitch sessions, with two startups selected to present during the event for immediate guidance from investors and seasoned mentors.
• Small-group networking and breakout discussions to foster community and peer learning.
• A startup pitch practice draw, offering registrants a chance to secure the live pitch practice spots.

Led by industry leaders and HITLAB WHTI ambassadors, the program is tailored to provide practical tools and insider insights for female founders and health tech professionals building ventures in this rapidly growing but underserved space.

“We designed Ignite to fill a critical gap for women-led startups who are often building innovative solutions but lack access to the strategic guidance and real-time feedback they need to break through,” said Amy West, Principal, Advisory Services at HITLAB. “This is about accelerating their path from concept to scalable business while building a stronger, more connected women’s health innovation ecosystem.”
