Such a joy to join Anthemis Group to discuss the future of healthcare and the growing intersection with fintech. Financial health is a cornerstone of holistic treatment and care and I for one am so excited to see how we grow these sectors together both in the US and abroad! Huge shout to Vica Manos and her vision for this ongoing effort.

There is enormous potential for AI in the healthcare sector! That's why Elixirr is partnering with Anthemis Group (a leading Venture Capital firm) to host an AI-focused event for our Healthcare clients and network in London on July 3rd. The event is all about solving common challenges rather than just networking, and we're excited by the selection of expert speakers and broader attendees on our panel. It will include an expert panel discussion followed by exploratory breakout conversations to open up the dialogue.  We've been working on a joint thesis with Anthemis on how companies could prioritise AI opportunities across the healthcare spectrum, and we'd love to share it with you. If any healthcare executives are interested in attending, please send me a direct message, and I'll arrange an invite.

🚀 Reflections from the Women in Fintech Forum: The Future of Fintech in the Cloud 🚀 Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the Women in Fintech Forum, a gathering that discussed the transformative role of cloud technology in the Fintech industry and showcased the vibrant leadership of women steering this change. Thank you to Sasha Pilch and her team at NYC Fintech Women for organizing the event. Key Takeaways: 🌐 Global Expansion Through Cloud: Cathy Ross, Co-founder of Fraud.net discussed how AWS enables rapid global scaling, transforming entry to new markets from months to hours. 🌟 Accessible Financial Planning: Shruti Joshi, President and COO of Facet Wealth emphasized democratizing financial advice. Cloud tech allows them to rapidly innovate, introduce new product features weekly, and making services available to more people, not just the wealthy. 🤖 Generative AI's Role: AI is revolutionizing fintech by enhancing customer engagement and streamlining operations, setting new standards for efficiency. 🚺 Empowering Women in Fintech: Panelists highlighted challenges women face, such as funding disparities and the need for more women in leadership roles. 📈 Fintech Investing Insights: VCs discussed the future shaped by AI and digital assets, focusing on efficiency and access to financial services. I will say there was one thing mentioned with which I disagreed. During the Q&A, a panelist asked why more venture funds don’t just commit to investing in more women founders in the fund’s specific thesis area. One response was that this focus would lead to a decreased pipeline of opportunities. I have to say, I respectfully disagree with this narrative. At Anthemis Group, we have taken the view that there is not a pipeline problem, but rather a network problem (amongst other issues, of course). Venture capitalists leverage their personal networks to find opportunities and may need to think about actively expanding their network to find talented women entrepreneurs. Anthemis Group committed to investing in female founders in Fintech since its founding, and in 2019, we doubled down with our Female Innovators Lab Fund, which is the largest early-stage Fintech Fund dedicated to companies founded by women. Let's keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible in fintech! #Fintech #WomenInTech #CloudComputing #GenerativeAI #FinancialInclusion #VentureCapital

Still recounting my #NYTechWeek experience because it was so awesome. 🙌🏿 I absolutely enjoyed the #FoundersBreakfast hosted by Anthemis Group, Zeal Capital Partners, and L'ATTITUDE VENTURES. ☺️ Not only did I get to see my good friend Cecilia Sanchez (#FightOn), but I also got a chance to hear from some great #VCs of color give supportive advice to the #entrepreneurs in the room. Major shout out to Stefanie A. Thomas, Fabián Ronisky, Bukie Adebo Umeano, and my fellow BLCK VC alum Richard Odior for sharing your insights and tips! TECH WEEK by a16z
