What is The Billion Dollar Blindspot?
The Billion Dollar Blindspot is a weekly newsletter examining women’s health through a capital and market lens.
It explores how historical design choices in medicine, research, and funding shaped today’s healthcare landscape and how those same choices created persistent inefficiencies, information gaps, and mispriced opportunities across the sector.
The newsletter connects clinical realities, innovation pipelines, and capital flows to show how decisions get made, what gets funded, and why certain categories remain misunderstood for far longer than fundamentals would suggest.
You’ll find:
analysis of women’s health innovation and investment dynamics
narrative essays that surface structural patterns in medicine and markets
perspective on how capital allocation actually works — and how participation emerges over time
This is not advocacy content and it is not generic wealth commentary. It is a systems-level view designed to help readers understand how health outcomes, innovation, and capital allocation intersect and why that intersection matters.

About Me
I’m Maryann Selfe, an investment strategist with more than twenty years of experience advising private clients, ultra-high-net-worth families, and institutions across market cycles.
Before focusing on women’s health, I spent two decades inside the financial system working closely with private and institutional investors on portfolio construction, risk management, liquidity events, and long-term wealth planning. That work offered sustained exposure to how capital behaves under stress, how decisions compound over time, and how access shapes opportunity.
My writing today reflects the overlap between healthcare innovation and capital markets. Women’s health is a category where structural assumptions, data availability, and funding dynamics can be observed particularly clearly. Capital provides the lens for understanding how those dynamics translate into investment outcomes, market behaviour, and long-term value creation.
