OUR STORY

We are a team of young women and allies with the collective dream of improving healthcare through entrepreneurship. Given our distinct backgrounds in medicine, banking, and consulting, we recognize healthcare as an industry that carries great complexity, and thus, great opportunities for innovation. However, women continue to be underrepresented in leadership positions and to raise less funding for healthcare ventures compared to men.

WE NEED TO BUILD A COMMUNITY THAT INSPIRES WOMEN TO START VENTURES TO SOLVE HEALTHCARE’S MOST PRESSING PROBLEMS. THIS IS WHERE THEIA COMES IN.

Like the Greek Titaness Theia, we hope to shed light on different aspects of healthcare and strategies for entering the fray of innovation, increase visibility of female entrepreneurs and investors in healthcare, and create a network where women support women and help them shine.
