Top Femtech Companies in the UK | 2026

Lily Ruaah,
 17 April 2026

Femtech — technology designed to address women’s health and wellbeing — has been one of the UK’s fastest-growing sectors over the past decade, with active company numbers up 864% since 2015. After a record £177.1m raised in 2024 and a further £77.2m in 2025, the sector is finally attracting the kind of investor attention that women’s health has historically lacked.

We’ve ranked the top 50 femtech companies by total equity raised (all data sourced from the Beauhurst platform).

What is femtech?

Femtech — short for female technology — refers to companies developing technology-led products and services focused on women’s health, wellbeing, and bodies. This spans menstrual and ovulation tracking apps, fertility and reproductive health tools, menopause management platforms, hormone testing and diagnostics, sexual wellness products, maternal and postnatal care, breast and gynaecological diagnostics, and broader healthcare platforms targeted at women.

The UK has 106 active femtech companies — a small but extraordinarily fast-growing sector. The number of active companies has grown 864% over the past decade (from 11 in 2015), the highest growth rate of any sector we’ve analysed by some distance.

Collectively, UK femtech companies have raised £477.6m in equity funding, with £417.5m — 87% of the total — secured since 2020. These companies employ an estimated 1,159 people and generate a combined turnover of £351m

Key findings

  • Flo Health, the menstrual and ovulation tracking app, dominates the ranking with £206.5m raised — accounting for 43% of all funding raised by the top 50 combined. It is followed by Peppy (£46.4m), an employer-provided benefits platform specialising in fertility and menopause, and SheMed (£37.5m), a female-focused weight loss programme. Micrima (£21.9m), a Bristol-based breast scanning technology company, and Hertility (£19.7m), an at-home fertility diagnostics platform, complete the top five.
  • London accounts for 27 of the top 50 companies — a heavy concentration, though the South East (seven), South West (four), and West Midlands (three) all feature. The sector also has companies in Wales, Aberdeen, the North East, and North West, reflecting a broader regional spread than the company count would suggest.
  • The stage breakdown reveals just how early-stage femtech still is: 23 of the top 50 are at Seed-stage and 20 at Venture-stage, with only four at Growth and two Established. Just one company in the top 50 has exited. This is the most early-stage-weighted distribution of any sector we’ve analysed — a clear signal that femtech is still in its formative years.
  • The top 50 have collectively raised £476.2m, representing essentially all of UK femtech funding to date. The sector’s concentration at the top is notable: Flo Health alone has raised more than the next nine companies combined.

Methodology

To be included in this list of femtech companies, companies must be:

  • Headquartered in the UK
  • Operating in the ‘femtech’ Beauhurst industry classification
  • Listed as ‘Active’ on Companies House

We’ve then ranked these companies by total equity raised.

The future of femtech in the UK

Femtech’s growth trajectory has been remarkable. Investment rose from £11.7m in 2020 to a peak of £177.1m in 2024 — a more than fifteen-fold increase in four years. While 2025’s £77.2m represents a step down from that peak, it remains the second-highest annual figure on record, and the long-term direction of travel is clearly upward.

Several trends are likely to sustain this momentum. The historic underfunding of women’s health research has created a vast addressable market, and conditions like endometriosis, PCOS, and menopause are finally receiving serious commercial attention. Companies like Vira Health, Adora, Hysteron, and Balance App are building dedicated menopause platforms, while Hertility, Béa Fertility, and Genie Fertility are tackling fertility from different angles.

The corporate benefits angle is also emerging as a significant growth area, led by Peppy and Matresa, which deliver women’s health support through employers. AI is starting to play a role too — Revela uses AI ultrasound analysis for endometriosis diagnosis, while Genie Fertility applies AI to menstrual blood analysis.

New company formations have remained steady at 10–16 per year since 2020, and with the UK government’s renewed focus on women’s health following the Women’s Health Strategy, the conditions for continued sector growth remain strong.

FAQ

The top 50 femtech companies in the UK is a ranking of UK-based women’s health and wellbeing technology businesses, ordered by the total equity funding they have raised. It highlights companies operating across menstrual and fertility tracking, menopause support, hormone diagnostics, maternal care, and broader women’s health platforms.

Companies are ranked by total equity raised, using data from the Beauhurst platform. This provides a consistent, objective measure of investor confidence and growth potential.

UK femtech companies have raised £477.6m in equity funding to date, with £417.5m of that secured since 2020 — 87% of all funding ever raised in the sector. The peak year for investment was 2024, when £177.1m was raised.

Femtech — female technology — refers to technology-led products and services focused on women’s health and wellbeing. This includes menstrual and ovulation tracking, fertility and reproductive health, menopause management, hormone diagnostics, sexual wellness, maternal and postnatal care, and broader women’s healthcare platforms.

London is the dominant hub with 27 of the top 50 companies. The South East has seven, the South West has four, and the West Midlands has three. The sector also has companies in Wales, Aberdeen, the North East, and North West.

Yes — and rapidly. The number of active femtech companies has grown 864% over the past decade to 106, the highest growth rate of any sector we’ve analysed. Investment hit a record £177.1m in 2024, and 2025’s £77.2m was the second-highest annual figure on record.

UK femtech companies span a wide range of activities, including period and fertility tracking apps, at-home hormone and fertility diagnostics, menopause symptom management, breast and gynaecological diagnostics, sexual wellness products, maternal and postnatal care platforms, and corporate benefits programmes for women’s health.

Women’s health has historically been underfunded and under-researched, leaving significant unmet needs in areas like menopause, fertility, endometriosis, and PCOS. Femtech addresses this gap by applying technology to women-specific health challenges, and the sector’s rapid recent growth reflects growing investor recognition of this opportunity.

The ranking table is automatically updated weekly using data from the Beauhurst platform.
