Investment Thesis

Coyote Ventures believes that investing in companies designed to optimize the health of traditionally overlooked populations, especially women, provides both a powerful opportunity for impact and strong potential for high returns. They launched in 2021 with the conviction that equitable health solutions can produce long-term value and lower systemic healthcare costs. Their approach combines a health equity framework that examines intersecting inequities such as gender, race, socioeconomic status, cultural considerations, and literacy.
