Starting as a student activist, she worked on health, Defense, high-tech and economic development issues in Congress, as an attorney and lobbyist. After meeting lots of entrepreneurs and nonprofits who didn’t know how to navigate government, Liz started G2G (Government2Growth) in 2007. Company bioG2G is a bipartisan team of non-dilutive funding experts and government affairs professionals who work for and with government on the federal, state and local levels – successfully representing bioscience, healthcare, and high-tech innovators, entrepreneurs, research institutions, companies and nonprofits in securing $423 million in non-dilutive government funding to date. FemTech Focus Podcast bioThe FemTech Focus Podcast with Dr. Brittany Barreto is a meaningfully provocative conversational series that brings FemTech experts - including doctors, scientists, inventors, and founders - on air to talk about the innovative technology, services, and products (collectively known as FemTech) that are improving women's health and wellness. Though many leaders in FemTech are women, this podcast is not specifically about female founders, nor is it geared toward a specifically female audience. The podcast gives our host, Dr. Brittany Barreto, and guests an engaging, friendly environment to learn about the past, present, and future of women’s health and wellness.Time Stamps[03:09] Liz Powell’s background [05:29] G2G and Women’s Health[06:31] Women’s Health Innovation Coalition by Springboard Enterprises[09:39] The relationship between Women’s Health and Policy [14:06] Current temperature of Women’s Health of Women’s Health within the US Government[16:45] How do we educate policy makers about women’s health?[19:39] What was the impact of the Dobbs decision on the US Midterm Elections?
