​Investment in women's health is gaining momentum, and a new wave of emerging managers and founders are helping drive this shift. While they are fueling innovation and unlocking opportunities that were long overlooked, they're just getting started. As funding accelerates, where is the capital going, and what critical gaps still need to be addressed?

​Attendees will get an exclusive preview of key findings from SVB's soon to be released Women's Health Report. Whether you're a founder, investor, or simply passionate about improving women's health, this conversation is not to be missed!

​Join us for an insightful discussion moderated by Nuzi Barkatally (SVB) and our powerhouse panel:

​Carli Sapir
Founding Partner, Amboy Street Ventures

​Carli is the founding partner at Amboy Street Ventures and leads the investment team. Carli has an affinity for startups in the Women's Health & Sexual Wellbeing landscape due to her own personal journey. She is also the founder of Female Founded Club (FFC), a global platform that introduces VC investors to high-quality female founded startups. While she was running the FFC, she recognized that the lack of venture capital flowing to the women's health and sexual health market is stunting the growth of startups that tackle significant health problems. Carli founded Amboy Street Ventures to initiate a shift in the funding landscape that, until now, dictated the innovation in this space. Carli has a background in Private Equity and Engineering. In 2023, Carli was recognized on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list.
