Rhia Ventures’ mission is to create a vibrant US market for sexual, reproductive, and maternal health that produces equitable outcomes for all. This multi-billion dollar market has tremendous potential for public health impact, but it has been built on flawed systems that perpetuate unjust outcomes for women of color, low-income women, and others directly affected by systemic inequities. Our work is to transform this market. We know that transformation happens when partners with long experience in reproductive health and justice come together with market-facing actors to create deep, meaningful impact. By connecting activists, public health professionals, scientists, entrepreneurs, corporates, and investors, together we will build a more just marketplace. Rhia is enabling this change through four complementary efforts: We make direct investments in early- and growth-stage companies that are driving innovation, access, and equity in reproductive and maternal health, through our wholly owned venture fund, RH Capital Corporation. We provide technical assistance and shared resources to these companies and others so that they can strengthen their work in health equity and spur change across the venture ecosystem. We work through our Corporate Engagement and Blossom programs to change social norms, practices, and people that influence this market. We produce a systems-change assessment of the market, identifying the key leverage points for addressing systemic racism and other inequities to inform Rhia’s programs and share with grant-makers, investors, and policy-makers seeking to “make this market work for justice,” to paraphrase Darren Walker of the Ford Foundation. Our Vision for Success Alongside our partners, our efforts will: Catalyze investment in innovation that improves equity, access, and outcomes in reproductive and maternal health care Transform systems in the reproductive and maternal health market, to redress systemic inequity and contributes to improving reproductive and maternal health outcomes for women of color, low-income women, and others directly affected by systemic inequities Amplify the perspectives and work of stakeholders of color Strengthen social norms, to support high-quality maternal and reproductive health care for all women and birthing people in the US

Through philanthropic funding, collaborations, and intergenerational partnerships, Hopelab works at the intersection of tech and mental health alongside entrepreneurs, funders, researchers, and young change-makers to create systems change and build a thriving future for underserved young people. UNITED BY A BOLD IDEA With backing from The Omidyar Group, Hopelab’s team is united by a common desire, from our founders, to catalyze social impact and empower young people. Hopelab was created as a lab to explore the idea that stable philanthropic funding might support a deeper exploration of the way translational research, technology, and investment opportunities can bolster resilience and improve the health and well-being of young people. To this day, that remains a guiding vision of Hopelab. Re-Mission, Hopelab’s first project, was inspired by co-founder Pam Omidyar’s bold idea to create a video game to help young cancer patients comply with treatment. That legacy continues to guide the organization’s mission-driven work to help build a more inclusive and equitable future for young people, especially BIPOC and LGBTQ+ youth. EVERY DAY, THE TEAM AT HOPELAB ASPIRES TO BE... Equity Advocates: We center equity in all facets of our work and recognize that systems of oppression, like racism, homophobia, transphobia, and wealth inequities, are connected – dismantling them benefits everyone. We passionately work to create more equitable health outcomes for young people from underinvested groups. Intergenerational Collaborators: We believe that more equitable outcomes for young people require intergenerational partnership and a shift in who holds power. We support co-creation between young people and adults, and shifting of power toward young people. We believe that nothing should be built for young people without the equitable engagement of young people. Compassionate Optimists: We are unwavering in our pursuit of a more compassionate, better world now and for generations to come. Joy and hope can feel radical in today’s world; we embrace them to fuel possibility and innovation in service to a more equitable future with concrete outcomes for young people. Relationship Builders: Complex systems are made up of interconnected relationships, and we believe that systems change must start with authentic connection. We are connectors, and our work bridges across sectors, disciplines, and perspectives. Our work gains strength from a diverse set of voices and approaches. Expansive Learners: We develop multi-disciplinary teams to solve complex issues by drawing upon, learning from, and integrating many fields and methods, including rigorous science, psychology, public health, impact investing, design, and the lived experiences of young people and the adults in their lives.
