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.
