Sadly, yet unsurprisingly, the new administration begins disrupting the foundations of public health. Our startup, Venova Technologies, is entirely grant funded. 75% of our funding comes from the NIH. We have two pending NIH grant proposals. One has been reviewed. One was just set for review in March. This could drastically halt our progress, not to mention the billions worth of research and innovation from academics and other companies that depend on the NIH for their funding. Thinking of our colleagues at the NIH. Hoping this will get resolved. Otherwise, we’re out of funding in 2026. https://lnkd.in/gayjwcFB

Here are the strategic investment opportunities to advance women’s health identified in this MedCity News article: 1. Revolutionizing contraceptive technologies ?? 2. Expanding telemedicine and remote health services 3. Advancing innovative diagnostic tools 4. Supporting underrepresented communities "In the post-Dobbs era, investing in reproductive health is not only a strategic financial move but also a moral imperative. By channeling our investment dollars into the critical areas described above, we can support innovative solutions, expand access to essential services, and uphold the fundamental rights of women across the nation. This is our chance to make a tangible impact and champion a future where every woman has the freedom and resources to make the best choices for her health and her life." Foreground Capital

Today, we celebrate International Day of Action for Women’s Health! ???????? This day was first observed in 1987 and aims to advocate for women’s reproductive rights, highlight healthcare disparities faced by women, and raise awareness about gender-based violence. Now more than ever, we need to prioritize women’s healthcare and fight for the accessibility of reproductive services and protection of reproductive rights for all people, including women, girls, and gender-diverse people. #womenshealth #internationaldayofactionforwomenshealth?#reproductivehealth?#reproductivejustice?#reproductiverightsarehumanrights
