Flat6Labs, a leading seed-stage venture capital firm in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and Organon, a global healthcare company devoted to women’s health, have joined forces to launch the second cycle of the Women’s Health Accelerator Program.
This initiative seeks to empower digital health startups that develop solutions to improve women’s health across the MENA region.
The program will prioritize three crucial areas: family planning, fertility planning, and women’s overall well-being.
It aims to tackle specific health challenges faced by women in the region by fostering the development of long-lasting, sustainable solutions.
The program plans to support the growth of 15 selected startups. This will involve engaging various stakeholders and equipping the ventures with the tools and resources necessary for a successful launch.
Flat6Labs and Organon will also host a combination of virtual and in-person community events, including information sessions, roadshows, pitch contests, and webinars.
These events aim to broaden outreach, identify promising startups, and facilitate a strong selection process.
Aspiring startups can apply for the program until May 16th.
