Happy International Women's Day Beautiful Humans!!  💗💗💗 (one day after)

International Women's Day has become one of my favourite annual celebrations - a ritual where I get to bring incredible women together and reflect on our collective progress. The evolution has been beautiful:

• Last year: Ran my first IWD event with 100+ attendees, including incredible panelists, the most beautiful space, sponsors, snacks & meaningful conversations

• This year: Co-hosted an intimate event with Naseem, bringing together 20 of the top women's health founders, investors and operators in the bay area, gathering in a beautiful turkish cafe called Telve in the Marina

• Next year: what should we do?? 🥰

Looking at how far we've come while acknowledging the journey ahead fills me with gratitude and determination. I shared the golden nuggets from our gathering in this post here - TLDR, ladies we need to talk $$’s not just our pain stories.

✨ This week's celebration highlights:

• Obviously the international women’s day celebration

• Honoured I got to speak at the 69th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women (virtual panel for FemTech Weekend) where I participated in discussions on women's health in the workplace as part of the Beijing+30 anniversary! (Close to home for me since my family is chinese, from shanghai originally)

• Attended the GTM Cannonball with Headline Ventures - this session was gold, sharing some of my top takeaways 

  • Try out Chat GPT’s deep research feature 

  • Your outreach is only as great as your research is, and how personalized you can get 

  • If you're using the same tools and have access to the same information all your competitors do, you won’t be able to stand out 

  • I clearly need to better understand the micro differences of LLM models - 01 pro, o3 mini, sonnet 3.7…(keeping it simple, Currently I love Chat GPT for strategy, Claude for writing) 

  • Getting Claude to write at the 6th grade level is the best (5th grade is unacceptable lol) 

✨ This week's audiobook: Connecting the Dots: Lessons for Leadership in a Startup World by John Chambers & Diane Brady (was inspired to read this bc apparently John really believed in the power of community)

✨ This week's song obsession: Ladies, can this please be our anthem? I am obsessed with this song & performance 

✨ This week's journal prompt: Who is a woman in my life that has played a massive role in who I am today? - Write out how this woman impacted you, and maybe even share it with them! ❤️

🍒 WOMEN'S HEALTH NEWS THAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION 🍒

Science Advances Special Issue on Women's Health: New research reveals critical insights on menopause timing and hormone therapy's relationship to Alzheimer's risk. With women making up two-thirds of Alzheimer's patients, Alexander said “These findings highlight the importance of female-specific contributions to Alzheimer’s disease, and underscore the need for us to consider the role of hormones in understanding why women are at elevated risk”

Catalytic Impact Foundation Funding Women's Health: CIF joins the growing venture philanthropy movement, operating as a 501(c)(3) that reinvests profits from successful investments into future women's health innovations. - I’m curious to learn more about other orgs that are operating this way and the outcomes. If anyone knows of any I should check out pls send my way!

BCG: Women's Health is a $100B+ Opportunity: Addressing diagnosis and treatment gaps in just four conditions (menopause, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's, cardiovascular) could be worth over $100B by 2030. Love seeing BCG join the conversation after McKinsey also addressed closing the gender health gap. Who’s next?!

Digital Censorship Continues to Impact Women's Health Education: The CensHERship campaign has documented numerous cases of medically accurate women's health content being blocked as "adult" or "political" while similar men's health content faces fewer restrictions…. this still blows my mind.
