So proud to share that Rosy Wellness took home Startup of the Year Early Stage at Venture Dallas! ?? Winning awards outside of the women's health ecosystem is incredibly meaningful as it signals recognition of the importance of our work outside of our own echo chambers...something that women's health founders know is truly special. Thank you to David Evans, Michelle Yeh Gillis, and all the selection committee members for this honor! This event just keeps getting better each year, and it is a pleasure to watch the ecosystem galvanize. It was great to connect with so many people including Stephanie Collins (women's health therapeutics @ Eido Bio), Laura Baldwin (investing in women via Golden Seeds and retail tech via RevTech Ventures), Jovelyn Castellanos, MHA (supporting healthcare founders at Health Wildcatters), Danguole Altman Cx Precision Medicine, Inc. (working on precision diagnostics for dementia), Jesse Draper (investing in women and inspiring others to do the same Halogen Ventures), Ansley Carlisle (investing in great ideas at Mark Cuban Companies), Kevin Lavelle (working on a better baby monitor with night nanny services @ Harbor), and Wyatt Smith (upskilling workers to fill unmet needs @ UpSmith), Andreas Melder (of Cercle working in AI and infertility), and to see Quincy Preston of Dallas Innovates. Great job to the whole planning committee! Until next year! #venturedallas #venturecapital #womenshealth

The Invisible Ink podcast just wrapped up Season 6 with an impressive cast of guests! As I?reviewed the episodes, I was struck by the depth, candor and realism that every single guest brought to the table. Key themes: ? A fundable startup marries both head and heart - A great startup begins with an urgent need that's uniquely visible, even visceral, to the founder - But it has to be backed by solid and objective data you can bring to the table - Few ideas survive first contact with the market - don't just be okay with this - actively plan for it ? The investor and investment nuances matter - Different funding sources come into play at different points, and have different implications. Pick with care. - Investor relationships last longer than many marriages. Proceed accordingly. - It's not just about valuation: it's about?all?the terms in the term sheet. Ignore them at your peril. ? The financials are important! - Having mastery over your financials and demonstrating financial acumen is a non-negotiable with investors - Use the model to tell a compelling financial story about your business and bring credibility to your ask - Even at an early stage, your financial model matters! ? Don't neglect the details of ownership from day one - Mind the boring stuff:?keep records and documents?organized and up-to-date, especially cap table, stock awards - Understand the nuances of different equity types, like restricted stock and options, and when to use each - Understand how payouts could work differently than "ownership", especially for founders' equity ? It's tough as a woman, but you have to play to win - You have to own your power to play. Mitigate the perception disadvantage by dialing up your warmth - Select investors carefully: if you have to start from a negative, move on. Most importantly, trust your gut! - Learn to negotiate aggressively and advocate for yourself and your company. There's a lot more where that came from, so we handpicked the very best of each episode and packaged it up for your viewing pleasure!

Call your mom...then vote for Partum Health! We've been selected as a finalist for the Chicago Innovation Top 100 - and we need your help to take home the People's Choice! If you're wondering whether there's a need to step up the support women and families receive during pregnancy and postpartum, reach out to parents you know to ask about the experience. Ask whether they knew what the physical effects of pregnancy, labor and postpartum would be, if they had the support they needed to breastfeed, if their mental health ever suffered in the transition. The most common thing we hear when we tell people about Partum Health's whole person care is "where were you when I had my kids?". Ask a person who has given birth or a partner who have held the hand of someone giving birth and they will probably tell you - there were pretty major gaps. The modern approach we have designed at Partum Health with behavioral health, lactation, PT, doula support, and more as the standard in pregnancy and postpartum is needed to fill those gaps. Today you have a very concrete way to support this mission and the movement to improve maternal care - vote for us for the People's Choice in Chicago Innovation's Top 100 competition. Thank you! And thank your mom!
