In this week’s episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Rachael Kim , CEO of Femtech Salon. Rachel’s story is one of transformation—from corporate leader to startup founder and investor, driven by her personal health journey and a mission to advance equity in underserved communities.
Rachel shared how Femtech Salon has grown into an international community supporting female founders with practical solutions like childcare-equipped co-working spaces, microloans, and intentional networking events. Her passion for creating opportunities shines through her focus on key areas of innovation in women’s health: menopause and longevity, perinatal care, and consumer-driven products.
Our discussion also touched on the growing momentum in Femtech, a term coined in 2016, and its proven track record of successful IPOs and acquisitions. Rachel advocates for values-driven venture capital, urging LPs and VCs to commit resources toward community impact and financial literacy initiatives.
This conversation is a powerful reminder of how innovation and community can reshape industries. Rachel’s leadership exemplifies how we can prioritize equity while driving meaningful change.
