LocalGlobe partner Julia Hawkins discusses femtech's risks and rewards

'I think we're still very bullish on the category in general'

London-based seed fund LocalGlobe is incredibly active at the early-stage end of the startup pipeline with a broad focus across multiple sectors and areas, including health.

We interviewed partner Julia Hawkins about the opportunities and risks related to femtech investing in light of the fund's early backing for Ferly, a female-founded startup with a subscription app that describes itself as an audio guide to "mindful sex."

The startup says its mission is to open up conversations around female sexual pleasure and create a place for self-discovery and empowering community - touting "sex-positive" content that it says is "backed by research, written by experts, and personalized to you."

The interview has been edited for length and clarity.
