5 Lessons from Tracey Warren and Colleen Foster on Strategy and Financing in Women’s Health


Investing in women’s health requires more than conviction—it demands discipline, strategic foresight, and an understanding of how capital and infrastructure interact in a complex ecosystem.

Drawing from their extensive experience on both sides of the investing landscape—Tracey Warren, a seasoned healthcare investor and founder, and Colleen Foster, a partner at Amboy Street Ventures— shared lessons that go beyond traditional venture playbooks.

Their insights reveal what it takes to build scalable, investable, and sustainable businesses in a historically underfunded sector.

1. Business Models That Scale

Tracey emphasizes that scalable success in women’s health begins with business models built around real, unmet needs—not assumptions or trends. The companies that rise above the noise are those that marry clinical credibility with commercial clarity, translating meaningful health outcomes into viable, scalable businesses. Whether expanding access to reproductive care, strengthening maternal health systems, or reimagining menopause management, these founders design for both impact and endurance.

Too often, women’s health ventures stall because they’re driven by passion alone, without the financial infrastructure to sustain their mission. Tracey underscored that the most effective founders treat sustainability as a strategy, not an afterthought. They design revenue models that align mission with market forces—where serving underserved populations isn’t a side initiative but a competitive advantage that drives growth, loyalty, and long-term value.

The Takeaway: Purpose and profit aren’t opposing forces—they’re twin engines of growth. The companies that scale in women’s health are those that turn care gaps into market opportunities, proving that doing good and doing well can go hand in hand.

2. Infrastructure as Strategy

Colleen underscores that funding alone doesn’t build enduring companies—infrastructure does. While capital is critical, the long-term success of a venture depends on the systems, relationships, and operational frameworks that allow it to grow sustainably. Her approach to investing focuses on strengthening the ecosystem that supports founders, ensuring they have the tools and networks necessary to scale. This includes cultivating co-investor relationships to enable aligned support across funding rounds, securing follow-on capital to provide continuity as companies expand, and designing operational systems that make scaling repeatable and efficient.

Infrastructure, in Colleen’s view, is not just about processes or paperwork—it’s a strategic differentiator. Companies that intentionally build strong regulatory pathways, repeatable operational practices, and resilient networks are better equipped to navigate complexity, absorb setbacks, and seize opportunities in fragmented and competitive markets. By prioritizing infrastructure alongside innovation, founders create businesses that are not only scalable but also durable, adaptable, and positioned for long-term impact.

Key Takeaway: Enduring companies aren’t built on funding alone—they’re built on strong infrastructure and ecosystem support. Founders who prioritize co-investor networks, follow-on capital, and repeatable operational systems create businesses that are scalable, resilient, and positioned for long-term impact.

3. Fund Structure and Capital Deployment

From early-stage checks of $500K–$1M to later rounds of $1–2.5M, Tracey and Colleen’s approach to capital deployment reflects a deliberate alignment of fund strategy with company maturity. Each investment is intentionally sized to match the stage of the business, ensuring that founders have the resources they need to hit key milestones without overextending or diluting focus.

Their diversified Limited Partner (LP base)—which includes individuals, family offices, foundations, and mission-aligned investors—provides both financial resilience and a shared sense of purpose. By cultivating a broad and engaged investor network, they create a foundation that supports follow-on investments, encourages collaboration, and positions the fund for long-term stability and growth.

Tracey and Colleen emphasize that maintaining strong LP relationships is just as important as the initial deployment of capital. Demonstrating follow-on success, clear reporting, and strategic alignment builds trust, attracts future investors, and enables funds to scale over multiple rounds and cycles.

Key Takeaway: Smart investing is intentional and stage-appropriate. By aligning capital size, investor profile, and company maturity, founders and funds can maximize impact, minimize risk, and sustain performance over time. In women’s health, this disciplined approach ensures that both the companies and the funds that support them are positioned to create long-term value.

4. Evaluating Founders and Execution Risk

Execution risk in women’s health remains high due to regulatory complexity, fragmented markets, and evolving reimbursement structures. Successful founders are those who combine deep domain expertise with operational rigor, demonstrating the ability to navigate uncertainty while delivering results.

Tracey and Colleen look for founders who understand the full landscape—from reimbursement pathways and regulatory approvals to strategic partnerships and scaling operations. These founders stand out not just as entrepreneurs with vision, but as operators who can execute consistently, even in challenging environments.

By prioritizing execution capability alongside innovation, investors can identify founders who are most likely to turn ambitious ideas into sustainable, scalable businesses.

Key Takeaway: In women’s health, investors bet on execution. Founder resilience, operational mastery, and the ability to navigate complex systems often determine whether a business succeeds where others stall.

5. Strategic Lessons for Investors

Tracey and Colleen emphasize that successful investing in women’s health requires pattern recognition, strategic discipline, and adaptability. Investors must go beyond surface-level metrics and look for signals that indicate repeatable success and structural advantage.

Key strategies they highlight include:

  • Analyze recurring success patterns across portfolios: By identifying what works repeatedly—whether in business models, founder profiles, or operational approaches—investors can make more informed decisions and reduce risk in future investments.

  • Focus on ecosystem gaps: Structural inefficiencies in women’s health create unique opportunities. Investors who understand where care is underdeveloped, funding is scarce, or markets are fragmented can find leverage points where both impact and financial return scale effectively.

  • Maintain stage-appropriate discipline: Capital should match company traction, not just ambition. Overfunding early-stage ventures or underfunding proven concepts can hinder growth. Strategic alignment of investment size, timing, and stage ensures both efficient capital deployment and sustained fund performance.

  • Balance rigor with adaptability: Women’s health is a complex and evolving sector. Investors succeed by combining methodical evaluation with the flexibility to respond to emerging trends, regulatory changes, and shifting market dynamics.

Key Takeaway: Investing in women’s health demands both rigor and adaptability. The most successful investors identify structural leverage points—where strategic capital can simultaneously drive impact and generate sustainable returns—and deploy it with discipline across stages and portfolios.

Why Their Insights Matter

The future of women’s health depends on strategic capital—resources that move with purpose, structure, and foresight. This is not about short-term funding or isolated bets on innovation. It’s about deploying capital in ways that build lasting systems, where financial discipline and social mission reinforce one another to create sustainable, systemic change.

Tracey and Colleen’s approach demonstrates that investing in women’s health is far from a niche or feel-good effort—it is a blueprint for long-term value creation. When capital is directed intentionally toward this sector, it doesn’t just close care gaps; it unlocks new markets, drives better outcomes, and strengthens the foundation of the healthcare ecosystem as a whole.

By combining disciplined financing with mission-driven strategy, investors and founders create a new infrastructure for women’s health—one that rewards innovation, promotes equity, and generates measurable impact. This approach moves us beyond funding isolated solutions to building an interconnected ecosystem that supports scalable, enduring improvements in care for generations to come.

How the In Women’s Health Mini-MBA Helped Alejandra Expand Her Impact and Launch Her Next Career Step

Alejandra joined the most recent In Women’s Health Mini-MBA cohort eager to expand her understanding of the women’s health landscape—and she left with so much more.

The program opened doors to new ideas, new confidence, and new career possibilities. By the time the course wrapped, she had not only gained a deeper knowledge of women’s health but also found clarity in her next step—accepting an incredible new role (after receiving multiple offers!). Her journey is a powerful reminder of what can happen when you invest in yourself and step boldly into the future of women’s health.

Seeing the Bigger Picture

Alejandra joined the program because she wanted to transition into healthcare and feel more prepared to understand the real barriers women face in accessing care. “I’ve spent years building products for parents and caregivers,” she explains, “but I wanted a deeper understanding of how the healthcare system works, including reimbursement, policy, and access.”

One of her most transformative insights came from realizing how much policy shapes every aspect of women’s health. “Every barrier, from venture funding to which conditions get studied, traces back to policy and reimbursement,” she notes. “Once I understood that, I started thinking less about individual products and more about how collectively we can help close systemic gaps.”

Translating Learning into Career Growth

The Mini-MBA also helped Alejandra articulate her value in a healthcare context. As she pursued health tech leadership roles, the program provided the language and frameworks to connect design decisions to clinical, business, and policy outcomes. That preparation helped her land a role as Product Design Director at BetterHelp, where she now focuses on the mental health needs of women—an area where she sees both gaps and opportunities for impact.

“Knowing that 65% of clients are women, and that women experience mental health issues more often than men, makes me excited that I can make a tangible difference,” she says. The program also helped her think about mental health in a new way, particularly how women experience care differently and what systemic changes could improve outcomes.

The Power of Cohort Connections

Beyond the curriculum, Alejandra highlights the value of the community itself. “Meeting the incredible women in the cohort—many of them founders building solutions across different parts of the system—was both grounding and inspiring. It reminded me how much collective power there is when women share knowledge and support each other’s work.”

A Broader Sense of Purpose

The Mini-MBA also encouraged her to think bigger about impact and long-term change. “I’ve always been passionate about design for care,” she reflects. “The program pushed me to think about building systems and solutions that last, especially as I continue creating in the mental health space.”

Advice for Future Participants

Her recommendation for anyone considering the Mini-MBA is simple: engage fully and take advantage of the network and mentorship available. “Dive in fully,” she says. “This program gives you tools, perspective, and connections that are truly transformative—not just for your career, but for the future of women’s health.”

The next In Women’s Health Mini-MBA cohort starts November 7th, 2025.
