Avestria Ventures

Avestria Ventures is a venture capital firm based in the San Francisco Bay Area, focusing on early-stage investments in women's health and female-led life science ventures. The firm defines women's health as conditions affecting women exclusively, differently, or disproportionately, such as menopause, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer's. Avestria Ventures aims to address the underfunding of these sectors by investing in innovative companies that leverage technology and data to improve healthcare quality, access, and affordability.

The firm's investment strategy targets early-stage businesses with evidence-based products or services that induce clinical or behavioral change, possess scalable commercialization plans, and offer a sustainable competitive advantage. Avestria Ventures emphasizes the importance of healthcare policy, reimbursement, and existing infrastructure in its investment decisions. The firm is committed to empowering patients and improving healthcare outcomes through its portfolio companies.

Avestria Ventures is led by Managing Partner Linda Greub, CFA, who co-founded the firm to invest in overlooked and undervalued markets within women's health and female-led life sciences. The team includes professionals with diverse backgrounds in healthcare, finance, and law, all dedicated to supporting the growth and success of their portfolio companies. The firm's approach combines strategic investment with a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities in the healthcare sector, particularly those affecting women and female entrepreneurs.
