Pontiva Healthcare Partners is a life sciences growth and late-stage venture firm dedicated to advancing breakthrough solutions in women's health. The firm backs entrepreneurs and innovative companies addressing areas across biopharma, medtech, diagnostics, and tools, supporting them at critical inflection points on their path to commercialization or strategic exit — with deep sector expertise, active investment oversight, and a data-driven approach to value creation. Women's health represents a $1+ trillion global opportunity growing faster than broader life sciences, yet it receives less than 5% of total venture investment. With many early-stage funds focused on inception-stage companies, Pontiva exists to fill the gap for women's health companies seeking later-stage institutional capital — providing the larger, clinical- and commercial-stage dollars the market needs to translate breakthroughs into impactful solutions.
