Pioneer Square Labs’ Julie Sandler says women’s and LGBTQ+ health is an untapped VC opportunity after just 3% of decade-long funding targeted women

Seattle venture capitalist Julie Sandler argues that women and LGBTQ+ health is an underserved, high-opportunity investment sector because women make most healthcare decisions, spend ~30% more than men, yet only 3% of funding targeted women’s health in the past decade. Sandler discusses these points on GeekWire Studios’ podcast '2025: Tomorrow, Today,' urging VC attention to femtech and inclusive healthcare innovation.
