Invested in Her
The Longevity Science Foundation (LSF) is proud to present Invested in Her — a curated gathering in New York City dedicated to advancing women's health research and building a community of people committed to closing the healthspan gap for women.
Women live longer than men on average, yet spend significantly more of those years in declining health. The biology driving this disparity is rooted in ovarian aging and the menopausal transition, and it remains one of the most underfunded areas in medicine. This event brings together researchers, clinicians, investors, advocates, and philanthropists who understand the stakes and want to be part of changing this reality.
The event will feature panel discussions, presentations from leading women's health companies, and dedicated networking time, all designed to generate real momentum: meaningful conversations, practical takeaways, and relationships that extend beyond the room. Proceeds support our Invested in Her campaign, which is raising $250,000 to fund critical early-stage research into menopause, ovarian aging, and female longevity.
If you would like to support the research without attending, you can make a direct donation through our campaign page.
All donations to the Longevity Science Foundation are tax-deductible. As a registered 501(c)(3) organization (EIN 88-0936587), we ensure you receive a charitable gift receipt within 24 hours of your contribution. Thank you for supporting our mission.
This exclusive event emphasizes the quality of its attendees, participants, and interactions over quantity, to foster action, innovation, and high-profile engagement. Attendance is limited to 85 persons.
