Welcome to FemmeHealth Ventures Alliance - the investor’s guide to the future of women’s health.

🧭 New here? Start here.
Hi, I’m Maryann. I write this because I can’t not write it.
This newsletter is for curious, values-aligned investors who want to build wealth and back innovations closing the care gap in women’s health.
Every week, I publish deep dives, investor frameworks, case studies, and sharp narratives about women’s health, healthcare innovation, and the future of capital to help you better understand one of the most overlooked and underfunded sectors of our time and how capital is beginning to shift in response..
You won’t find ad-driven clickbait here. No SEO fluff. Just straight-up thinking for people who want to build smarter portfolios and a more inclusive future of care.
But here’s the part I rarely say out loud: This work is 100% independent. And it takes real time, focus, and emotional labor to do it right.
What We Are Building
I started FemmeHealth Ventures Alliance because I saw a gap no one else was naming. Brilliant innovation in women’s health was being ignored not because it lacked potential, but because the capital stack wasn’t designed to recognize it.
Since launching this newsletter, thousands of you have joined. Some are angel investors. Some are family office advisors. Some are founders, clinicians, or policy thinkers. And every week, more of you say the same thing:
“I want to invest in women’s health. I just didn’t know where to begin.” “Thank you for helping me think more strategically and see what’s been missing.”
That’s what this is for.
What You’ll Get Here
If you’re new here or just wondering what’s in it for you, here’s what I write about each week:
Market signals in women’s health, longevity, diagnostics, and healthcare innovation
Breakdowns of startup decks and how to evaluate traction, clinical credibility, and exit potential
Case studies on founders building companies the capital markets aren’t yet designed to see
Investor frameworks for assessing risk, identifying blind spots, and backing better science
Reflections on building wealth with purpose and power
What It Takes
Each post takes hours to research, cross-reference, interview, write, edit, and refine. I read dense clinical studies. I unpack startup decks. I translate market patterns into stories that actually help people invest better.
There are no grants or sponsors behind this. No institutional funder underwriting the work. Just me writing between strategy calls, investor meetings, and real life.
So if this publication helps:
give you a sharper lens
makes you feel more confident as an investor
or makes you feel seen in a system that too overlooks your experience
I am asking you to consider making a donation.

Who Am I?
I’m Maryann, an investment professional with decades of experience managing portfolios for ultra-high-net-worth clients. At one point, I advised on over $700M in assets. Today, I’m focused on a bold new frontier: redirecting capital to women’s health innovation.
Why This Matters
Women make 80% of healthcare decisions, yet women’s health accounts for less than 2% of healthcare R&D funding.
That’s the billion-dollar blind spot I write about. And one that more investors are beginning to take seriously as both an unmet need and a long-term growth trend.

Dear Philipp
Thank you so much for your comment which I deeply appreciate! (And No, I am not disappointed at all that the first comment is from a man. Quite the opposite.
Hi you,
I hope you’re not disappointed the first person commenting is a guy.
Your line of argumentation is very convincing to me and I agree, there is demand to cover the important topic of women’s health.
The topics you will cover in your substack sound very interesting, which is why I am happy to subscribe.
All the best for your newsletter.
