Julien Finci - An Unsung Hero in FemTech

An unsung hero in Femtech

Behind every breakthrough in women’s health, there are innovators working quietly, relentlessly, and with purpose.

We’re proud to spotlight our CTO and co-founder, Julien Finci, an engineer who helped challenge a century-old gynaecological tool and rethink how care should feel for women.

As the inventor of carevix®, Julien combined engineering precision with deep empathy for patients to replace the painful cervical tenaculum with a gentle, suction-based alternative, reducing pain, bleeding, and anxiety during procedures such as IUD placement.

In this interview, Julien shares:
• How a conversation with his gynaecologist brother sparked a Femtech startup
• Why innovation in women’s health has been overlooked for too long
• What it takes to build, fund, and scale meaningful medical technology
• Why compassion belongs at the heart of engineering Because Femtech isn’t just about technology. It’s about listening, re-imagining care, and improving real patient experiences.
