It’s time to build the market for women’s health..

Women weren’t really included in clinical trials in the USA until 1993, so we owe women decades of science.

It’s time to fix that together.

It’s time to invest at scale to get new diagnostics, treatments, and cures for women!

The Women’s Health Fund was conceptualized by leaders in investing and industry to actively build the market.

It’s not about one company, or one venture capital fund. This is a fund of funds. It’s a macro level approach.

It’s not enough to have a few good investors backing a couple great companies in women’s health. We need many seasoned, successful venture capital fund managers scouring the market for innovations in women’s health, that have the experience to grow those companies though to exits.

This is real market building.

Common Questions

  • Imagine building a soccer league, let’s say for women’s soccer in the USA. It’s not enough to have a couple great coaches, or a few really talented players. You need lots of experienced coaches scouring the market for talent that they can cultivate to championships to develop many teams to have a league. It’s a little like that.

    We want to empower seasoned, successful investors to back many innovative companies in women’s health to build the entire market.

  • We are intentionally partnering with experienced life science fund managers with funds that add up to over 20 billion dollars, and that have a total of around 60 billion dollars in AUM. This means that many more fund managers will be looking for deals in women’s health. We will share more information on those funds shortly.

  • While many foundations cannot invest in funds as LPs, they are able to provide support in other ways. They can give non-dilutive grants, enable capacity building, and fund education efforts and policy changes that help founders and companies.

  • Leaders in the Pharma industry are accustomed to investing a decade and close to a billion dollars to make a new medicine. They know the ins and outs of how to bring a new diagnostic, treatment, device or cure to patients. They are also often the exit for innovative companies in women’s health, buying the company or the asset to get it to patients around the world.
