Theresa Neil — Co-Founder
I lead product strategy, design execution, and interim CPO work for healthcare and femtech companies building regulated, high-stakes products. I’m the founder of Femovate, where we invest design capital and strategic support to accelerate women’s health innovation across diagnostics, medical devices, AI, and digital health. Previously, I founded Guidea, a healthcare product design consultancy with a 20-year track record of successful launches across enterprise and startup healthcare. Guidea was acquired in 2025. Across my career, I’ve led or advised on products resulting in 20+ FDA clearances, including multiple clearances for individual platforms. My work spans enterprise and early-stage healthcare, with clients including Amgen, Cigna, Google, Humana, Johnson & Johnson, Novo Nordisk, and hundreds of amazing startups. I’m typically brought in when product decisions affect clinical workflows, regulatory pathways, or the company’s ability to scale responsibly. That includes defining product strategy, product design and development roadmaps, stepping in as interim CPO, and conducting technical and product diligence for investors and boards.
