Salary benchmarks
Our take
It's now being recognised that women's health has been underinvested in for too long. That is changing, with the Femtech market (including fertility apps, maternal health and sexual wellbeing products) projected to be worth $50bn by 2025 (according to research by Frost & Sullivan).
Elvie are one of the only companies out there dedicating world class industrial engineering resources to making great products for women.
The company has made great hires, and the team is full of super experienced people with varied backgrounds (Dyson, Bosch, McKinsey, PepsiCo, Pernod Ricard).
Elvie has explored new markets and now targets other key areas of women's lives, further diversifying its product portfolio and drive growth via geographical expansion.
