In healthcare, there’s a persistent data gap that doesn’t just leave women’s health needs overlooked—it undermines both individual health outcomes and economic opportunity. For far too long, medical research has treated male physiology as the default, side-lining the health realities of half the population. This is a moral oversight with real, preventable harm to women, but it’s also a market failure with immense untapped potential. Every missed diagnosis, every delayed treatment, and every unmet health need isn't just a personal cost—it’s a lost economic opportunity. We're talking about 75 million years of healthy life lost annually worldwide, along with billions in costs to healthcare systems, insurers, and workplaces. Yet, there’s an opportunity here: closing this gap could drive health innovations and open new, high-impact market opportunities. At Giant Leap, we see major potential in femtech startups breaking down these barriers and building solutions that serve everyone. We want to invest in founders who: 👉 Leverage AI and disaggregated data to uncover sex-based insights 👉 Create inclusive health data that reflects real-world diversity 👉 Commit to best practices in AI to actively mitigate bias; and 👉 Drive user-informed product development that’s directly responsive to the communities they serve.

Here is something I am really excited about this week: being named a mentor with Giant Leap ! Giant Leap is Australia’s first venture capital fund entirely dedicated to investing in startups that create positive social and environmental impact. Their mission is to back founders who are reimagining industries, using business as a force for good. Giant Leap has supported over 25 companies across sectors like climate tech, health, and education.

The Giant Leap team often gets asked about the pathways into Venture Capital and the essential skills required to raise capital, make investment decisions, and assess the impact of startups.

🔋 Did you know that the battery in an EV can be equivalent to more than 5 Tesla power walls? That’s why Ben Gust from Virescent Ventures said he is most excited about the potential for Australian startups to leverage Vehicle to Grid opportunities on the Climate Salad panel last week with Jeff Renaud , moderated by my colleague Katarina Throssell . This opportunity syncs up well with the work mentioned by Eytan Lenko led by Boundless Earth which has helped Australia move from 0.2% of new cars being EV’s to the cusp of 10%. My colleague Rachel Yang noted while it is natural to feel frustration with the lack of progress towards net zero, we are on a rollercoaster ride 🎢 and there are many things to be optimistic about, especially with opportunities like these for startups to leverage. For example, we’re excited to be working with innovators like Amber Electric who are working on the vehicle to grid opportunity right now to help us shift to a net zero future. 🗒 If you’re interested to learn more, you can join their waitlist here. https://lnkd.in/g8qQ-zqi Mick Liubinskas Christian Pazzaglia Adam Milgrom Joanna Lee Charlotte Moos Heath Evans Vidit Agarwal Elliot Costello Paul Rowlinson Luke Giuliani Rebecca Rozencwajg Warwick D.
