🌟 Alloy Women's Health, a PACE Healthcare Capital portfolio company, announced today in Fortune (Emma Hinchliffe) that they’ve raised $16 million of capital. We’re beyond proud to have supported the company as investors since 2021 and participated in this funding as the company completes its Series A.   💼 Co-founded by Monica Molenaar and Anne Fulenwider, Alloy is redefining menopause care in a $17 billion global market that has long been overlooked. By prioritizing accessibility, transparency, and evidence-based solutions, they are setting a new standard for advancing women's health in midlife and beyond.   💻 Alloy Health combines telehealth, prescriptions, and a supportive community to address the unique needs of women over 40. For decades, menopause has been treated as a "wellness" topic instead of a medical one, leaving millions of women to suffer in silence. Alloy is changing that by empowering women to find personalized solutions that truly work.   🤝 We’re thrilled to partner with Kairos HQ, Emmeline Ventures, Amboy Street Ventures, and many other incredible investors, to champion Alloy in its next phase of growth. At PACE, we’ve also loved the management team’s disciplined approach to growth, which aligns with our values and defies the traditional laws of venture. Cherry on the cake - here, it isn’t just about investing in a company. It’s about driving a movement to destigmatize menopause and create meaningful health solutions for women.   🎉 Congratulations to the Alloy team! Your work is paving the way for better care, better conversations, and better outcomes for women everywhere. 🚀

What did I learn?  My biggest takeaway was the profound impact of AI on so many levels. We use several different software programs to carry out our work on a daily basis:  we can be confident that AI is reshaping how we work so that we can focus on higher-value tasks by reducing repetitive tasks and the number of software tools we deploy. What was your biggest takeaway?  Would love to hear from you. #RecurringRevenueConference #SaaS #Subscriptions #ScalableBusiness Highlight Reel from 2024 Recurring Revenue Conference

Thrilled to see the launch of VC Include’s newest program, Fund Fundamentals! This program is designed to provide timely tools, resources, and an ecosystem of support that future fund managers need to begin their journey toward firm building and fundraising. This is about more than just technical knowledge—it’s about creating a nurturing environment where they can connect with mentors, experts, and peers who will walk alongside them as they take this transformative leap. Special thanks to Jailan Griffiths of Nasdaq Foundation, Julia Monfrini Peev, La Keisha Landrum Pierre and the VC Include team of Nina Sharma, Ivy Binns, Alia Einstein-Diez , Niysha Anderson, and Joy Jing for setting the right tone and providing the inspiration needed as they embark on their journeys. Congratulations to the inaugural class!!! This is how we build the future—together.

Yesterday we kicked off VC Include’s newest program, Fund Fundamentals! 🎉 The inaugural Fund Fundamentals class is comprised of twenty-five women from historically underrepresented populations who are interested in launching a fund in the next one to two years. 🚀 They hail from 13 states and Washington DC, range in age from 25-54, and identify as Black, African American, Middle Eastern, Indigenous, Asian, and Latina. The program will provide them with timely and supportive tools and resources that they will need to create an onramp to begin their firm building and fundraising efforts. In partnership with the Nasdaq Foundation and with support from Heading for Change, we created the Fund Fundamentals program to reach the growing number of investors who are at the very beginning of their journey and are seeking support as they get started. Beyond the technical knowledge, this program is designed to connect the class to an ecosystem of mentors, experts, and emerging fund managers who can support them on their path to fund formation. 💫 Thank you to Jailan Griffiths, Julia Monfrini Peev, and La Keisha Landrum Pierre for sharing your support, guidance, encouragement and advice during this first session! You are critical to building the nurturing community that this inaugural class needs to feel safe and inspired to make the leap of building a fund. Together we rise! 🙌🏽 #womeninfinance #womeninvestors #genderequality #vc #pe #diversityandinclusion #impactinvesting #fundmanagers #venturecapital #DiversityInVC #ImpactinAction #emergingmanagers #alternateinvestments

In markets and sectors where private capital isn't naturally flowing, blended finance deals are often necessary to build a track record. According to a report from Convergence Blended Finance, it's a category that's proved particularly resilient over the last year, attracting private sector investors typically swayed by spicy macroeconomic conditions. Blended finance breakdown: 🔹 Private investors drove $18.3 billion in blended climate finance transactions in 2023, a 120% year-over-year increase. 🔹 It's attractive to institutional investors ~45% of blended finance transactions went into funds/deals larger than $1 billion, and the median blended deal size was $105 million, up 160% from 2022. 🔹Climate #adaptation needs more focus, only $1.2 billion was mobilized in this space last year. (There's a ways to go to convince investors that adaptation can generate healthy returns..) Use cases: 🔹 Asia: The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is testing out a blended finance model to make early pay-outs to retire coal plants in Indonesia and the Philippines up to 15 years ahead of schedule to reduce emissions faster. 🔹 Latin America: GAWA Capital is nearing a first close for a $300 million fund, which layers concessional and commercial capital to support climate adaptation in rural communities. 🔹 Africa represents the largest share of blended deals at 44%, but most rely on international funding sources, leaving local institutional capital untapped.. Rwanda is using grants, concessional loans, and credit guarantees to drive private investment in green projects as it aims to reduce emissions by 22% by 2030.

The work continues. I am as committed as ever to advancing women’s health, even as the recent U.S. election brings new challenges. With key policies at risk, we must work even harder to protect healthcare access and support women’s unique needs. For those who see Europe as a safe haven, I beg to differ. Recently, several European countries have elected far-right politicians or seen a rise in influential conservative parties. Just like in the U.S., these shifts often reflect nationalist and restrictive policies that impact women’s health and rights. Attending a private markets conference in Monaco, I’m reminded that this is not only a local challenge—it’s a global one. But with each challenge comes an opportunity to sow seeds of change. This season, I’m embracing fall as a time for: 🌱 Preparation for the path ahead ⏳ Patience in unseen progress 💪 Discipline in purpose and vision 🎯 Long-term focus on what truly matters 🤫 Solitude to recharge and realign 🔕 Quiet reflection to find clarity and direction If, like me, you feel the pull to “go underground,” let’s remember that this work—though it may feel slow, even invisible—is essential. In the darkness and decay of late fall, the seeds we plant today, in a time when so much is unknown, will bear fruit in due time.
