About us
True Wealth Ventures is an early-stage stage venture firm, led by two Austin-based women, Sara Brand and Kerry Rupp. The fund invests in women-led companies improving human and environmental health. Their investment thesis is that women-led companies perform better financially, as reported in many studies, yet are an untapped market with approximately 2% of venture dollars going to female-founded start-ups over the last decade. True Wealth Ventures was at the vanguard of this movement of women investing in women. Closing their ~$20M Fund I in Jan 2018 made them the largest VC fund ever raised with an exclusive gender-lens investment strategy, and with an unprecedented 80% of LPs identifying as women. The future of savvy investing is gender diverse.

We're thrilled to see our portfolio company Oralucent at the forefront of oral health innovation! This insightful post by CEO Hans Kaspersetz highlights the exciting developments in dental care, particularly the potential of red-light therapy in promoting gum health and preventing gingivitis. Oralucent's Pro Edition light therapy toothbrush is a prime example of the cutting-edge healthcare solutions we invest in. By combining red and blue light therapy in an everyday tool (your toothbrush), Oralucent is making advanced oral care accessible to everyone. Give it a try for yourself today using TWV10 at checkout for 10% off. With gum disease affecting nearly half of adults over 30, and 90% of those over 80, preventative solutions like Oralucent's are crucial. We're proud to support companies that are not only innovating in healthcare but also addressing widespread health concerns. Congratulations to Hans and the entire Oralucent team on this validation of your approach. You're truly bringing the future of oral health into our daily lives! #OralHealth #HealthTech #WomenLedStartups #VentureCapital
The Future of Oral Health is Here and You Don't Have to Wait. October is National Dental Hygiene Month, this is when we reconsider our oral hygiene practices, make sure we are scheduled for our semiannual cleanings and checkups, and focus on the future of dental hygiene. Today, the Wall Street Journal brought the future to us with, "Teeth-Cleaning Robots, Red-Light Therapy: What’s Ahead for Dental Health". I was particularly excited by the focus on Red-Light Therapy and its potential use in healing gum tissue and preventing infection following dental implantation. Dr. Geelsu Hwang's team's research suggests that red-light therapy stimulates gum tissue to release antimicrobial peptides that kill bacteria. His team took this insight and developed a dental implant that uses LEDs powered by chewing to fight bacteria with the goal of preventing peri-implantitis. The technology is in its infancy and has yet to go through clinical trials, but it is promising. https://lnkd.in/gZ4Ee3B5 (paywalled) If you are wondering why I'm excited by it, this is just another small piece of validation for something we believe at Oralucent. Red-light therapy may be beneficial to gum health and preventing gingivitis. Red-light therapy has been shown to aid in reducing inflammation and improving blood flow. Oralucent’s Pro Edition light therapy toothbrush delivers red- and blue-light to help fight pathogenic oral bacteria, improve gum health, and whiten teeth. We have more than 5,000 happy customers who are brushing with Oralucent’s light therapy toothbrushes and are getting remarkable results. Why is this so important? 47% of people aged 30 and older suffer gum disease. That number rises to 90% by the age of 80. If you leave gum disease untreated it may develop into periodontal disease which costs up to $8,000 to treat and is very uncomfortable. Gum disease is considered preventable with regular brushing, checkups and professional cleanings. Oralucent's FDA registered Pro Edition light therapy toothbrush can help prevent gingivitis and restore gum health. The future is bright in your oral health.
