Perspectives on Fundraising and the Entrepreneur-Investor Relationship with Jessica Bell van der Wal (Frame Fertility) and Margaret Malone (Flare Capital)
We have an exciting episode ahead. We are joined by Jessica Bell van der Wal, co-founder and CEO of Frame Fertility, as well as with one of her seed investors, Margaret Malone from Flare Capital. They will each share their perspective on the fundraising process and the relationship between entrepreneur and investor after the round closes.
Jessica Bell van der Wal has ~20 years of experience as a cross-functional executive, team leader and operator and has sold digital health products to patients, payers and employers at companies such as Genentech, Nike and Castlight Health. She serves as an advisor and Board Member for various early stage digital health / private companies and nonprofits, and she loves supporting women as a mentor especially through her role as a Co-Chair of 50/50 Women on Boards. Jessica holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and a bachelor's in public health from UNC Chapel Hill. In 2020, Jessica founded her own digital health venture, Frame Fertility, which helps individuals and couples plan ahead for expanding their family and know their risk factors early to avoid a downstream and often costly fertility crisis. She is also the proud mom of 2 year old Parker, who inspired her work at Frame, which she started with her partner, Corey, following their own tough fertility experience.
Margaret Malone is a principal at Flare Capital. She was a member of the deal team for Flare’s investment into BeMe Health, Cayaba Care, Eden Health, Elektra Health, and Oshi Health. In addition, she led the firm’s Flare Scholar Ventures investments into Darby, Docent, Frame Fertility, and Visana Health. Before joining Flare Capital, Margaret partnered with entrepreneurs and investors to build executive teams and create the foundational human capital strategy for early-stage healthcare companies while at Oxeon Partners. Margaret also brings experience in healthcare-focused venture capital through her prior roles at 7wire Ventures and B Capital Group. She began her career as a clinical operations consultant with Huron Consulting Group’s healthcare practice. Margaret is also a co-founder of Dropping Claims, a content platform powered by the HealthTech Grind, a community of 300+ women entrepreneurs, operators, and investors passionate about health tech.
