About Us

Pontiva Healthcare Partners is a venture capital firm focused on women’s health: diseases that affect women specifically, disproportionately or differently. Collectively, this represents a $1 trillion market that has been underserved by the current investment landscape. 

We believe women’s health is entering a transformative phase. Billions have been invested in research over the past decade, generating innovation and a vibrant ecosystem of women’s health startups. Venture investment in women’s health has more than tripled, yet most deals remain seed-stage. Pontiva is focused on the white space at the next stage of investment, financing the best of these emerging women’s health startups – companies that have received initial funding but require institutional capital and life science-focused expertise to reach their next inflection point.
