I’ve known Gwen since first launching VC Task Force in 2001. She is a thought leader amongst her peers –known for pointing to trends well before they are mainstream, with a deep commitment to finding underserved gems in the tech community. She has focused on female founders and CEO’s for over 2 decades, still stunned by challenges they face. In a recent interview she gave me a “book full” of examples, so I’ve challenged her to write more. In the meantime, I will feature her in my upcoming newsletter with thoughts from recent research on just how rapidly the landscape is changing for entrepreneurs and angels alike. Found “gems” include Lark Health, Materna Health, Alcatraz AI, Breinify, nVision, Gummicube and more. Gwen is also a fan of capital efficient companies and strategic use of revenue-based financing.

Gwen was recently a speaker at Princeton University’s Workshop on Entrepreneurs, April 2023; and at SelectUSA, sponsored by the US Department of Commerce in Washington DC, May 2023, on topics of gender, ethnicity, and capital formation.

Ethical AI and Our Future

SITUATION: In the 21st century, ethics and efficacy are essential components for success and our mutual survival. Our world has been impacted by the cruelest epidemic: GREED. “In today’s crisis of ethics…The issue of responsibility is foundational to understanding organizational ethics…irresponsible behavior is so common that the obvious must be stated. Fueled by selfish ambition, greed can cause leaders to lose perspective and rationalize unethical behaviors.” - Stephen E. Brimmer Ethical business practices are the DNA of our company, Hcare Health, PBC. As both a Delaware-registered Public Benefit Corporation and a thought leader in AI for healthcare, Hcare aligns its practices and protocols with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) guidelines, in fact exceeding them! Our NLP, LLM (large language mo del) and other technology models all are designed to set the new standard. Linked to this is our values-based culture to safeguard our values throughout the chain both at Hcare and at our partner companies.
