Venture isn’t therapy.
So why do some women’s health founders make the mistake of pitching for validation instead of capital?
In this week’s episode of Blindspot Capital, I sit down with Lisa Suennen investor, founder, and writer behind the viral post Tough Love for Women’s Health Entrepreneurs to unpack what’s really holding back funding in the sector.
Lisa doesn’t sugarcoat it. She’s sat in the rooms where deals get done and where they don’t. And she’s here to name the blind spots no one else will.
Lisa is now a Managing Partner at the Go Red for Women Venture Fund at the American Heart Association and they’ve seen 500+ women’s health pitches in just a few months.
We talk about:
Why women’s health often stalls at Series A
What founders miss when pitching VCs
Why “language” shapes investor perception
How to sell your stock not your story
“You are not pitching your product. You are pitching your stock. Treat it like any other sale.”
