The Signal is a new part of my Substack where I share the early-stage companies, technologies, and movements shaping the future of health, detoxification, longevity, regeneration, and human potential — through my lens as a practitioner, health and detox expert, and active angel investor.
I believe I’m on the path to becoming a rising female angel investor in consumer health tech over the next 3-5 years.
Probably sooner.
Not because I need to prove anything.
Not out of ego.
Simply because it feels true and in alignment for me.
It’s funny — I actually quit a job in venture capital the week I started to pursue my long-time passion for health and wellness in early 2021.
And now, years later, it feels like everything is coming full circle in the most organic way. The way life unfolds never ceases to amaze me.
I’m already proudly a two-time investor in Function Health, and I’ve just made another angel investment in an incredible consumer health tech company I’m deeply excited about (more on that below).
I formally scout for two health-focused venture capital funds.
I live and breathe discovering new health tech companies, even when there’s no paycheck attached.
I know we need more women—both investors and founders—in this ecosystem. Yes, more women allocating capital, more women leading companies, and more women building the future of health. Today, capital allocation is still largely male-driven, and women-led startups continue to receive only a small fraction of the funding they deserve. We need capital allocation that reflects the diversity of founders building the future. That’s not a future I want to accept—it’s one I want to help change.
Most importantly, connecting people is something that comes very naturally to me, and it’s one of my favorite parts of this work.
Words have spells.
So, I’m speaking this one out loud.
And, when I envision something, it’s because it has already happened in the quantum.
So, I’m thrilled to introduce a new part of my Substack — The Signal.
This is where I’ll share the early-stage companies, technologies, and movements shaping the future of health, detoxification, longevity, regeneration, and human potential — through my lens as a practitioner, health and detox expert, and active angel investor.
And, if you didn’t already know, I share daily on LinkedIn. Come hang out with me there too!
So, with that said, I’m absolutely elated and honored to back BeSound as an investor and advisor.
I met Bailey Renger several months ago and knew I had to be in her corner.
Clear vision.
Lived experience.
Relentless execution.
Unwavering tenacity.
Just a couple of weeks ago, BeSound launched out of stealth, and it matters.
Too many women are told to wait, watch, and worry.
Bailey built something better:
An AI-assisted ultrasound platform designed for women who are often overlooked — especially those with dense breast tissue (approximately 50% of women) and women under 40 who get stuck in insurance limbo and delayed care — to completely revolutionize breast cancer prevention.
This is not your mom’s mammogram.
No squeeze.
No radiation.
No months and months of waiting for answers.
Built for 2025, not 1965.
Why I’m in:
Access: If you’re under 40, you still deserve proactive screening.
Accuracy for dense tissue: Mammograms can miss cancers in dense breasts; advanced ultrasound can see what X-ray can’t.
Affordability: A straightforward $350 scan and a modern, human experience.
Launching this fall in West Hollywood — then more cities next.
If you’re in LA, book the scan you wish existed sooner.
If you’re not, raise your hand so that they know where to go next!
I’m honored to support Bailey Renger and the BeSound team as they bring truly women-centric tech to market.
Early detection saves lives, and women deserve options that respect our bodies, our time, and our intelligence.

This is so exciting! I’m actually moving through a transition and hoping to work for a company in the future that aligns with my values to build deeper, more sustainable health (I think cleansing is one of those tools), so I look forward to see what is highlighted.
