Meet the Speakers
Dr. Brittany Barreto
Keynote
Best Selling Author, Podcast Host, and Global Speaker: Every day Dr. Barreto dedicates her work to advancing women’s health innovation by equipping key stakeholders with data-driven insights and strategic advice on the femhealth market. She received a doctorate from Baylor College of Medicine in Molecular and Human Genetics where she discovered a small RNA that regulates genomic mutation rate. She founded several businesses including Pheramor, the world's first DNA-based dating app, and is a US patent holder on predicting personality from DNA. Additionally, she worked in venture capital and launched the Gulf Coast Branch for Capital Factory, the most active venture fund in Texas. Dr. Barreto noticed how underserved the women's health (femtech) industry was and set out to bring awareness, resources, and capital to it. She hosts the #1 femtech podcast, FemTech Focus, co-founded an early-stage femtech investment firm, Coyote Ventures, founded FemHealth Insights, a boutique consulting firm with a market research software tool specializing in women's health innovation, and authored Unlocking Women’s Health, FemTech and the Quest for Gender Equity.
