Investment thesis

Amboy Street Ventures is the world's first venture capital fund focused exclusively on women's health and sexual health for all genders. The firm invests in seed and Series A stage companies addressing a $1 trillion market opportunity in historically underfunded reproductive and women's health categories including fertility, menopause, maternal health, LGBTQ+ health, menstruation, hormonal health, sexual health, and contraception. The firm's founding premise is that the systematic underfunding of women's and sexual health represents both a market inefficiency and a societal failure, and that specialized capital combined with deep domain expertise and commercial networks within healthcare, consumer, and pharmaceutical channels can correct both simultaneously. Named after the first US birth control clinic that opened in Brooklyn on 46 Amboy Street in 1916, the firm bridges the funding gap to invest in companies ushering forward a new world of inclusive health and wellbeing.
