Investment Thesis

Rhia Ventures operates as an impact-first venture capital firm that combines conventional tools of capital markets with a social equity lens to transform the reproductive and maternal health market. They believe that by leveraging private sector investment while centering racial and gender equity, they can advance both public health impact and financial returns. Their approach recognizes that the multibillion-dollar reproductive and maternal health care market has been built on systems that produce disparate outcomes for women of color and low-income women, and they work to fundamentally reshape this market to equitably serve all women.
