VC Office Hours: Why the sex tech industry could benefit from today’s politics

Tech is set on disrupting nearly every aspect of human existence. Except for one, it seems.

Between 2020 and 2022, sex tech startups raised just a little over $1 billion in venture capital, reports Dominic-Madori Davis. She interviewed Coyote Ventures co-founder Jessica Karr to learn more about the state of the sector.

“Sex tech is an inclusive space — there are also many new products that are innovative for gender inclusivity as well as sexual wellness for men,” said Karr.

“While the new products address the true diversity of all people’s personal preferences, the taboo will remain for a long time.”
