Venture Capital
Lafayette, California
We invest in women’s health and female-led life science ventures: they’re what we know best. We define women’s health as conditions affecting women exclusively, differently, or disproportionately - and with women making 80% of household healthcare decisions and comprising 75% of the healthcare workforce, it’s not surprising to us that we meet so many female entrepreneurs with innovative health-related businesses. What is surprising is that less than 3% of venture funding goes to female-led businesses and only 11% goes to teams with at least one woman founder. For us, it is an amazing opportunity to support women in health...We seek out early stage businesses with a product or service that utilizes technology and/or data to improve the quality of healthcare, improve access, lower costs or empower patients. In order to achieve commercial success, these businesses must be evidenced-based, induce clinical or behavioral change, possess scalable commercialization plans which account for healthcare policy, reimbursement and the existing infrastructure, and possess a sustainable competitive advantage.
