Startups easing the growing burden on physicians ⚕️

Startups easing the growing burden on physicians ⚕️

Before we dive into news, insights, and updates from Speedinvest and our portfolio companies, in honor of International Women's Day celebrated earlier this month, we wanted to again thank the amazing female founders, partners, and investors who collectively make us a stronger organization.

And we're not the only ones recognizing them. Alice Pelton, founder of The Lowdown, and Yokoy co-founders, Angelica Kohlmann and Melanie Gabriel, were named by EU-Startups as some of the most influential women in startups and venture capital. Our own Marie-Helene Ametsreiter and Deepali Nangia also made the list. Congratulations to all!
