Unseen Upside: Investments Beyond Their Returns

S5:E5 The Maternal Health Crisis: Investing for Change


Listen Later

There’s a maternal health crisis in the United States, with high rates of maternal mortality, especially among marginalized communities. But what is being done to improve it? 

Through conversations with those on the front lines, we uncover the stark health inequities that exist in maternal healthcare and the developments created to tackle them. We also hear from mothers who have firsthand experience with Preeclampsia—a serious pregnancy complication and one of the many causes of maternal mortality— and one company on a quest to cure it.  

Guests include:

  • Scott Gottlieb, MD, Partner at New Enterprise Associates and Former FDA Commissioner
  • Scott Johnson, MD, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder at Comanche Biopharma
  • Jennell Lynch, Chief Executive Officer and Founder at Executive Doula Agency 
  • Theresa Hajer, Head of US Venture Capital Research at Cambridge Associates
