In recent weeks several new funds have launched or closed that are worth knowing about if you’re building in women’s health, consumer health, or wellness.
TechThrive Ventures – $7M Pre-Seed Fund
TechThrive Ventures, founded by Navneet Kaur and based in San Francisco, has launched a $7 million inaugural pre-seed fund focused on consumer health, wellness, longevity, and women’s health startups. The firm’s thesis is shaped by operating experience across global markets including India, with a focus on sectors where shifts in data, demographics, and consumer behavior are driving new models of healthcare access. Kaur brings experience supporting founders through the FemTech India ecosystem.
Wisdom Ventures – $77.7M Fund II
Wisdom Ventures has closed an oversubscribed $77.7 million Fund II to invest in startups using AI to advance health, wellness, and human connection. The fund will deploy $1-5 million checks into approximately 40 startups. While not women’s health-specific, the fund’s focus on AI-enabled wellbeing and health overlaps significantly with the femtech landscape. LPs include Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn founder), Evan Sharp (Pinterest co-founder), and Stewart Butterfield (Slack co-founder).
Arãya Sie Fund – £7.5M First Close, UK and Europe
Arãya Ventures and Sie Ventures have partnered to launch the Arãya Sie Fund, closing at £7.5 million to back female founders building in AI, deeptech, fintech, healthcare, and sustainability. The fund will invest in up to 40 pre-seed and seed-stage companies over the next four years, writing initial cheques of £100,000-£300,000, with approximately 70% of capital deployed in the UK and 30% across Europe. More than 50% of the fund’s LP base is women, and the fund is backed by the British Business Bank via the Regional Angels Programme.
British Business Bank + Angel Academe – £1M Co-Investment Commitment
The British Business Bank has committed an initial £1 million to co-invest with Angel Academe, a founding signatory of the Investing in Women Code, into seed to Series A startups with at least one female founder.
