10月20日,Metrodora Ventures公布了最新的投資項(xiàng)目,這是該公司成立至今公開(kāi)投資的第三家初創(chuàng)公司。Metrodora Ventures在其推特(Twitter)賬戶上標(biāo)注為“一家注重價(jià)值的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)投資公司,致力于醫(yī)療和學(xué)習(xí)產(chǎn)業(yè)”。
Metrodora向《財(cái)富》雜志獨(dú)家披露稱(chēng),該基金將投資Oula Health公司。Oula Health承諾打造一個(gè)“現(xiàn)代化的產(chǎn)科中心”,提供不同形式的孕期和分娩護(hù)理,涉及助產(chǎn)術(shù)到婦產(chǎn)科等各個(gè)領(lǐng)域。該初創(chuàng)公司由阿德里安娜?尼克森和伊萊恩?珀塞爾共同創(chuàng)立。Metrodora參與了該初創(chuàng)公司的320萬(wàn)美元種子輪融資。其他投資者包括Female Founders Fund、Rock Health和生育保健公司Maven的創(chuàng)始人及首席執(zhí)行官凱特?賴德。此輪融資由Collaborative Fund領(lǐng)投。Oula計(jì)劃在紐約開(kāi)設(shè)一家產(chǎn)前臨床和分娩中心,并提供虛擬指導(dǎo)。

尼克森和珀塞爾計(jì)劃將在其他國(guó)家更為常見(jiàn)的孕期護(hù)理服務(wù)引入美國(guó),比如在助產(chǎn)士的看護(hù)下分娩等。尼克森說(shuō):“我們?cè)谌谫Y過(guò)程中與許多投資者進(jìn)行過(guò)交流,切爾西是其中最有智慧的投資者之一。她擁有公共衛(wèi)生領(lǐng)域的背景。她對(duì)我們?nèi)绾卧诿绹?guó)借鑒其他國(guó)家的成功做法,非常感興趣?!?/p>

Metrodora Ventures最近的一項(xiàng)投資顯示出克林頓對(duì)這個(gè)領(lǐng)域的興趣。Metrodora Ventures投資了一家孕婦保健領(lǐng)域的初創(chuàng)公司Poppy Seed Health;該公司的應(yīng)用程序支持用戶以文本的形式提出與懷孕和醫(yī)療保健有關(guān)的問(wèn)題。
Metrodora到目前為止公布的第三筆投資是Fiveable,這家初創(chuàng)公司從事的是該公司關(guān)注的另外一個(gè)領(lǐng)域。Fiveable的創(chuàng)始人及首席執(zhí)行官阿曼達(dá)?多阿瑪拉爾主持開(kāi)發(fā)的教育技術(shù)平臺(tái),為高中生提供了社交學(xué)習(xí)的機(jī)會(huì)。
克林頓在一份聲明中談到投資Fiveable的交易時(shí)稱(chēng):“這種解決方案解決了年輕人的需求和挑戰(zhàn),投資這種解決方案就是投資美國(guó)的未來(lái)。隨著Metrodora Ventures的成立,我們很激動(dòng)能夠支持像阿曼達(dá)這樣的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者和Fiveable這樣的公司。阿曼達(dá)積極推動(dòng)普及優(yōu)質(zhì)教育,她的所有決策都以此為中心。Fiveable則致力于在課堂內(nèi)外培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的創(chuàng)造力和批判性思維?!?/p>

Just three months after news broke that Chelsea Clinton was considering forming a venture capital firm, that firm is not just up and running, but also quickly gaining momentum.
On October 20, Metrodora Ventures, identified on its Twitter account as "a values-conscious venture capital firm focused on health and learning businesses," announced its latest investment, the third startup the firm has publicly backed since its launch.
Metrodora exclusively revealed to Fortune that it is investing in Oula Health, a company that promises to be a "modern maternity center" combining different forms of pregnancy and birth care, from midwifery to obstetrics. Metrodora participated in a $3.2 million seed round for the startup, which is cofounded by Adrianne Nickerson and Elaine Purcell. Other investors include Female Founders Fund, Rock Health, and Kate Ryder, the CEO and founder of the fertility care company Maven. Collaborative Fund led the round. Oula plans to open a New York prenatal clinic and birth center as well as offer virtual coaching.
"Women should be at the center of their health care, especially during pregnancy," Clinton said in a statement to Fortune about her investment in the startup. "That experience should be collaborative and holistic, and Metrodora is proud to support Oula Health to create an approach that does just that for prenatal and postpartum care.”
Nickerson and Purcell are aiming to make more accessible forms of pregnancy care that are more common outside the United States—like birth under the supervision of midwives. "Chelsea was one of the smartest investors we chatted with during the process," says Nickerson. "She has a public health background. She was excited about—how do we take models we know work in other countries and apply them to the U.S.?"
Clinton's public health background includes earning a master's degree from and teaching at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health as well as working on related issues through the Clinton Foundation. Clinton recently joined Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Next Gen Summit for a conversation about vaccine hesitancy in the context of COVID-19. She also sits on the boards of startups Clover Health and Nurx.
Another recent investment by Metrodora Ventures demonstrates Clinton's interest in the field. The fund backed Poppy Seed Health, also a startup in the maternal health space; the app allows users to submit by text questions about pregnancy and health care.
The third investment Metrodora has so far made public was in Fiveable, a startup on the other side of the firm's stated interests. The education technology platform led by founder and CEO Amanda DoAmaral provides social learning for high school students.
"Investing in solutions that answer young people's needs and challenges is an investment in our country's future," Clinton said in a statement about backing Fiveable. "As we launch Metrodora Ventures, we're thrilled to be supporting a leader like Amanda, whose passion for democratizing access to high-quality education is at the core of every decision, and a company like Fiveable that fosters creativity and critical thinking for students inside and outside the classroom."
Metrodora gets its name, the fund says, from ancient Greece, after the author of On the Diseases and Cures of Women, the first medical text known to have been written by a woman.
