\nFemale-led venture fund focuses on startups that are moving the needle on gender equality.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Coyote Ventures, a venture firm focused on early-stage women\u2019s health and wellness startups, announced an LP investment from Bank of America today.\n<\/p>\n

\nLed by General Partner Jessica Karr, the firm has already invested in six startups, all of which are focused on catalyzing change by helping the health and wellness industry move towards gender equity.\n<\/p>\n

\n“According to data from Pitchbook, of the $105B invested in health and wellness startups in the US in 2021, only 2% was invested in solutions that serve women. This is a massively underserved market that we estimate is valued at over $1T globally,” Karr says. “We are beyond excited that Bank of America has committed as a partner in driving more early-stage funding in this critical space!\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nAs an early employee and biochemist at Impossible Foods, Karr is intimately familiar with what it takes to launch novel products. After working with startups internationally as an innovation consultant, she recognized venture capital as a gateway for launching and scaling new products – and saw gender equality as a key issue largely missing from venture investing. She founded Coyote Ventures in 2021, which now boasts an all-female deal team and advisor network of doctors, scientists, and healthtech executives.\n<\/p>\n

\nCoyote Ventures wrote the first venture check into Wile<\/b>, who has since launched their plant-based hormonal wellness products at Whole Foods Market and Walgreens nationwide. Coyote Ventures was also the first fund to commit to Hera Biotech<\/b>\u2019s oversubscribed seed round to advance clinical trials of their novel endometriosis diagnostic. All CEOs in Coyote Ventures portfolio companies are female, and many of the co-founders are BIPOC and\/or LGBTQ+.\n<\/p>\n

\nBank of America is the largest institutional investor in Coyote Ventures Fund I and follows previous investments from The Case for Her and Tripple Family Office.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe health crisis has impacted all of us but disproportionately minority women,\u201d says Gioia McCarthy, president, Bank of America San Francisco-East Bay. \u201cAt Bank of America, we want to facilitate more equitable opportunities for underrepresented entrepreneurs and address the challenges that women entrepreneurs face, especially when it comes to securing funds to start or grow their business.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
