"Meet the Atty Turned Investor Focused on Women's Health"; hoping this spotlight on my interdisciplinary role gets other women to invest. Investment into the women's health industry increased by 314% since 2018! Thank you to Law360 for this generous piece. Some quotes from the full article: ✔ On why lawyers are great investors: "We assess risk. We manage risk," she said. "We advise our clients on levels of risk, and work with our clients to determine which level of risk they're willing to take." ✔ "It was a natural evolution of my career, where I'm always thinking, 'Where can I add the greatest value?'" she said. ✔ "How are we really going to have an impact in healthcare? It's money. It's money, it's money, it's money," she said, adding that funding was essential in spurring innovation, especially in a field like women's health, where so many of the companies are still young. ✔ "That's been one of the advantages of having an interdisciplinary role — I don't just look down one lane. I'm able to look across lanes because I have different experiences," she said. "That's something that not that many people do." ✔ Investment in women’s health grew 5% while venture funding into health tech dropped in 2022 & 2023. Portfolia https://lnkd.in/e2fiG5cM

2moAmazing piece! As a former healthcare executive and attorney, you have a unique perspective. You've been an advocate for women's health since I've known you these past years. I can't think of anyone else who has more knowledge of women's health (the market and regulatory environment) than you. Portfolia is lucky to have you as one of the Lead Partners of its Femtech Fund.
