Last month, our partner Assia Grazioli-Venier had the privilege of delivered a Changemaker Keynote at the Mudbala New York Sail Grand Prix by SailGP, a pioneering global sailing league founded by Larry Ellison and Russell Coutts in 2018. Known for its cutting-edge F50 catamarans and dedication to sustainability and gender equality in sports, SailGP embodies the future of competitive sports, and sailing. Assia shared a heartfelt reflection on her personal journey, deeply intertwined with her family's adventurous sailing legacy that traces back to her father's historic voyage in the inaugural whitbread race 50 years ago. Her speech resonated with resilience and the valuable life lessons learned from sailing, which have profoundly influenced her career spanning technology, sports, and venture capital. At Muse Capital, we take immense pride in supporting Assia's vision for innovation and sustainability. Her speech underscored the transformative power of diversity and the urgent need and large opportunity to invest in women's health and sports. This aligns with our ongoing efforts, driven by our partners Assia Grazioli-Venier and Rachel Springate, to drive a positive change across venture capital and beyond.

Hormones play a critical role in women’s health, yet they remain a mystery to many. Join us on our latest podcast episode as we talk all things hormones with Marina Pavlovic Rivas, founder of Eli Health. Eli Health is on a mission to improve lifelong health through continuous hormone monitoring. Providing real-time insights into hormone levels through saliva testing, Eli Health revolutionizes the way we understand and manage hormonal health. Unlike traditional testing methods, which only offer a single snapshot of hormone levels, Eli Health's approach allows for continuous tracking over time from home. Featured on this episode is also our principal Maria De Santis, who helped source the Eli Health opportunity and alongside Assia Grazioli-Venier and Rachel Springate is dedicated to demystifying hormonal health.
