🙌 We are thrilled to see our portfolio company, Prenosis, published in a peer-reviewed article in the New England Journal of Medicine AI (NEJM AI) for its breakthrough product, the Sepsis ImmunoScore™—the first FDA-authorized AI tool for sepsis! 📃 This peer-reviewed article highlights the transformative power of clinically-validated AI in sepsis care. The Sepsis ImmunoScore™, validated in NEJM AI, demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy while simultaneously predicting critical outcomes such as mortality, ICU admission, and ventilation needs. By integrating multi-dimensional inputs, such vital signs, lab data, and sepsis-specific biomarkers, it provides actionable insights that enhance decision-making and save lives. 💻 This study also further shows that #AI, when clinically validated, can be a reliable, comprehensive tool to assist providers with identification of patients at high risk of some of the deadliest conditions in the #hospital – like #sepsis. ✨ Congratulations to Bobby Reddy, Jr., and the entire Prenosis team for this game-changing innovation. At PACE Healthcare Capital, we’re proud to support impactful advancements that redefine patient care.

🌟 Alloy Women's Health, a PACE Healthcare Capital portfolio company, announced today in Fortune (Emma Hinchliffe) that they’ve raised $16 million of capital. We’re beyond proud to have supported the company as investors since 2021 and participated in this funding as the company completes its Series A. 💼 Co-founded by Monica Molenaar and Anne Fulenwider, Alloy is redefining menopause care in a $17 billion global market that has long been overlooked. By prioritizing accessibility, transparency, and evidence-based solutions, they are setting a new standard for advancing women's health in midlife and beyond. 💻 Alloy Health combines telehealth, prescriptions, and a supportive community to address the unique needs of women over 40. For decades, menopause has been treated as a "wellness" topic instead of a medical one, leaving millions of women to suffer in silence. Alloy is changing that by empowering women to find personalized solutions that truly work. 🤝 We’re thrilled to partner with Kairos HQ, Emmeline Ventures, Amboy Street Ventures, and many other incredible investors, to champion Alloy in its next phase of growth. At PACE, we’ve also loved the management team’s disciplined approach to growth, which aligns with our values and defies the traditional laws of venture. Cherry on the cake - here, it isn’t just about investing in a company. It’s about driving a movement to destigmatize menopause and create meaningful health solutions for women. 🎉 Congratulations to the Alloy team! Your work is paving the way for better care, better conversations, and better outcomes for women everywhere. 🚀

Yesterday we kicked off VC Include’s newest program, Fund Fundamentals! 🎉 The inaugural Fund Fundamentals class is comprised of twenty-five women from historically underrepresented populations who are interested in launching a fund in the next one to two years. 🚀 They hail from 13 states and Washington DC, range in age from 25-54, and identify as Black, African American, Middle Eastern, Indigenous, Asian, and Latina. The program will provide them with timely and supportive tools and resources that they will need to create an onramp to begin their firm building and fundraising efforts. In partnership with the Nasdaq Foundation and with support from Heading for Change, we created the Fund Fundamentals program to reach the growing number of investors who are at the very beginning of their journey and are seeking support as they get started. Beyond the technical knowledge, this program is designed to connect the class to an ecosystem of mentors, experts, and emerging fund managers who can support them on their path to fund formation. 💫 Thank you to Jailan Griffiths, Julia Monfrini Peev, and La Keisha Landrum Pierre for sharing your support, guidance, encouragement and advice during this first session! You are critical to building the nurturing community that this inaugural class needs to feel safe and inspired to make the leap of building a fund. Together we rise! 🙌🏽 #womeninfinance #womeninvestors #genderequality #vc #pe #diversityandinclusion #impactinvesting #fundmanagers #venturecapital #DiversityInVC #ImpactinAction #emergingmanagers #alternateinvestments
