Investment thesis
Avestria Ventures targets what it considers overlooked and undervalued markets: women's health and female founders in the life sciences. It defines women's health as conditions affecting women exclusively (e.g. menopause), differently (e.g. cardiovascular disease), or disproportionately (e.g. Alzheimer's). The firm seeks early-stage businesses whose products or services use technology and/or data to improve healthcare quality and access, lower costs, or empower patients. Target companies must be evidence-based, drive clinical or behavioral change, have scalable commercialization plans that account for healthcare policy and reimbursement, and possess a sustainable competitive advantage.
