About this event

In the evolving world of startup creation, venture studios are emerging as powerful engines for building successful companies with higher success rates and faster paths to market—particularly in underserved sectors like women's health.

Join us for an illuminating fireside chat with Malin Frithiofsson, CEO of Daya Ventures—the world's first FemTech venture studio—as we explore how the venture studio model is revolutionizing startup creation in women's health and beyond.

She has pioneered the application of the venture studio model to systematically address the $1 trillion gender health gap. Under Malin's leadership, Daya has already launched 10 startups addressing critical challenges in women's health, with ambitious plans to create 30 companies by 2027. Through operational hubs in both Sweden and Kenya, Daya is demonstrating how venture studios can de-risk innovation while building global impact.

In this fireside chat, we'll discuss:

  • How the venture studio model is de-risking innovation and accelerating success in FemTech
  • How proactive company building differs from traditional venture capital approaches
  • The structured processes that accelerate time-to-market and reduce early-stage risk
  • Building in-house expertise and shared resources that give portfolio companies an edge
  • Applying the venture studio model to overlooked markets like women's health
  • Creating repeatable playbooks for startup success across different sectors
  • Strategies for creating startups with both significant financial returns and meaningful impact
