The Inside Israeli Innovation Podcast with Eve Young: Season 2, Episode 23.

This week, host Eve Young, economics correspondent for The Jerusalem Post, interviews Dr. Karny Ilan, CEO and co-founder of femtech startup Feminai.

As a team of female co-founders, the Feminai team ran into interesting reactions from potential investors, including meeting investors who told them that they needed a man on their team, Ilan explained on the podcast.

Karny and her co-founders, CTO Shani Klein Antman and CPO and R&D Gal Yanuka, are working to create an at-home breast cancer screening device that utilizes AI.   

Karny will also tell us about the challenges the femiai founders have encountered along the way, especially as a team of female founders and talk about how her team is breaking through glass ceilings.   

She will explain the importance of diversity for innovation, and talk about how a lack of diversity has led to poorer healthcare for women.
