● YPO Retreat Facilitator ● Global Keynote Speaker ● Co-Founder Goddess Fun+d ● Author of The Soul Solution ● Women's Leadership Advocate ● Energetic Spark Plug
We're thrilled to announce that our Goddess Fun+d has made a devotion (= an investment) in FemHealth Ventures, a woman led venture fund focused on women's health, started by my former colleague Maneesha Ghiya! Maneesha is not only a total bad a*s venture capitalist, Harvard MBA, with 20+ years healthcare investment experience, but she also founded FemHealth after a very harrowing personal medical experience that inspired her deep passion for making a difference in women's health. We all know that women's health has been largely ignored or relegated as less important...and Maneesha is out to correct that imbalance, while making incredible returns for her investors and heeding her own personal calling. Now that's the kind of win/win/win the Goddess Fun+d is all about. Awww yeah!!! Thank you Celina Johnson and Maneesha Ghiya for getting this deal done. If you want to hear more about FemHealth Ventures, check out the videos below! Mission & Vision of Goddess Fun+d: Our mission is to reclaim investing as a joyful, easeful and feminine act. We want to rewrite the script and create a whole new paradigm around investing, including using new language to describe it. This is a devotion. To the feminine. To the goddess. To feminine power. This is a feminine form of investing - as such, we're not calling it "investing" and are instead using the term "devotion," a synonym for investing that feels more aligned with our mission. Alka Singal, CFA Audrey Loder Janica Lane Amanda Galton Laura Martin Bovard Dana Hollins, MPH, CIH Adnan Chaudhry Luke Schroeder (@kristenchaudry + @nikkischroeder representatives ;) Our mission is to co-create abundance in a joyful, fun, creative and easeful way. For women, by women, with the intention of uplifting women everywhere. Our vision is that 49.72% (% of the population that's female) of all venture capital and private equity funds go towards female led funds, companies and start-ups. Investing / Devoting becomes fun + easy. We believe in co-creating with the Universe. We believe in investing in a way that is in the good of all beings everywhere. We believe in looking at the data, doing traditional analysis, and in the power of intuitive analytics, in trusting your gut and intuition, in looking for signs and serendipities, in going into ceremony and meditating to get clarity on decisions or issues that may arise. We believe in paying attention to energy and intention, always. We believe our thoughts create our reality. We believe in frequency and vibration, and managing ours accordingly. It's a "Fun+d" to remind ourselves that investing is Fun, Duh. ;) Hear Maneesha Ghiya's personal story on why she started FemHealth Ventures: https://lnkd.in/gydH3qwv FemHealth Ventures was the first to (re)imagine women's health across 3 categories: https://lnkd.in/g4mUE5ZR #angelinvesting #womenleaders #womeninvestors

Currently, only 2% of venture capital is invested into Women’s Health and yet, women and gender diverse people make up 50+% of the population and account for the majority of spending in the health and wellness sectors. This article from our US colleagues outlines recent investments and trends in the Women’s Health space. 🤔 Seems to me like now would be a good time to start investing in women’s health. Canada has some pretty amazing leaders in this space that would be great partners to bring positive health benefits and unlock value for wise innovators. Our Canadian Future of Health™️ report details how new market entrants will shift health dynamics over the next 10 years with a focus on well-care, it will be interesting to see who is ahead of this curve. *While the term “women’s health” is used in this article, more broadly, the challenges are around the disparities based on sex and gender in health and should be inclusive of all those who face health gaps based on sex and gender.

Addressing the women’s health gap could potentially boost the global economy by at least $1 trillion 💸 annually by 2040, according to McKinsey & Company. Despite comprising half of the world's population and driving 80% of healthcare purchasing decisions, ♀️ women's health has historically been sidelined as a niche concern within the healthcare industry. Now, that’s starting to shift. 🩺 At the conference #DMEA2024, global healthcare experts met to discuss topics such as digitalization in #healthcare and #gender-specific health initiatives. Our #startup, LipoCheck, seized the opportunity to present its mission and raise awareness about lipoedema. Meanwhile, at the Digital Hub Initiative and the AOK PLUS booth, SpinLab #Ehealth Coach David Blazek engaged in compelling discussions. The DMEA - Connecting Digital Health has illustrated a collaborative effort within the #healthtech industry to address healthcare gaps effectively. Thank you Digital Hub Initiative for the invitation! #SmartInfrastructureHub #EDIHSaxony

Guiding the development of medical devices from concept to commercialization. Program Management | Quality | R&D
We still have plenty of work to do since just 2% of the $41.2 billion in venture health funding went to women’s health, but it is clear that investment in women's health is on the rise. It's beyond rewarding to see Materna called out directly in this article for the work we are doing to make a difference! #womenshealth #womenshealthmatters #investinwomen

Silicon Valley Bank's report doesn't go into this much detail, but anecdotally I've definitely been seeing a surge in #womenshealth activity in the Institutional Seed/Series A healthcare/life science realm. The vast majority of these companies are pursuing some form of #alternativecare in healthtech, which is not surprising when you think all of the app-based ways we can tackle problems in areas such as fertility, menstruation, menopause, etc. In terms of the tech actualization curve, many of these companies I would put into the category of taking our care standard from reactive to proactive (i.e. doing a better job of keeping track of your ovulation to improve fertility), which I think makes sense for where we are on the tech curve. It will be really interesting when we start sprinkling more genomics and AI-ML architecture into these alternative care frameworks to enable the sector to move from proactive to predictive (e.g. based upon your genome, population meta-data, dx biologic data from your watch/patch/imbedded chip and your last x months of cycle pattern, we think that you may have a uterine fibroid developing that may require treatment, etc.). So I think that things are going to get really interesting as we move forward & these technologies start merging together and helping each other. Exciting food for thought! In any case, it's great to see such a surge in activity in a sector that has historically faced some pretty big headwinds & the future currently looks bright! * note - I am not a scientist nor a doctor, so my examples might be a little off-point but hopefully directionally correct. I also avoid using AI to help me write - for better or worse - & hope that you find value in my social media activity on behalf of SVB.
Venture investment in women’s health companies is flourishing despite broader market headwinds. Read the new #SVBHealthcare report for a full women’s health sector spotlight: https://lnkd.in/gVQKGHkK

“Women’s health investment flourished the past five years, experiencing a 314% increase in investments.” Research show that women face challenges when it comes to access to #healthcare as they are not represented in majority of medical research. Data published by Silicon Valley Bank suggests that women’s health companies are still valued much lower than healthcare companies overall. This confirms that there is significant room for investment in this category. This shift in focus and additional investment in the #womenshealth category is a step in the right direction for the future generation of women. Silicon Valley Bank.

“Global life sciences R&D efforts primarily focus on conditions with a high contribution of years of life lost to the overall disease-adjusted life years. This has often disadvantaged women and girls because they have a higher probability of being affected by conditions that affect quality of life (years lived with a disability) rather than length of life. Even in the digital healthcare space, FemTech companies received only 3% of the total digital health funding.” Learn more in this blog by Shyam Bishen, Ph.D., MS, MBA from the World Economic Forum and Lucy Perez, Senior Partner & CoLeader of the McKinsey Health Institute: https://lnkd.in/d3m6Cc5a #CloseTheWomensHealthGap #womenshealth #globalhealth #wef24
