About Laura Rafferty

Laura Rafferty's path through venture capital runs through the full healthcare deal stack: she worked on acquisitions in corporate development at UnitedHealth Group, handled financial planning at the startup Sanvello Health, and negotiated partnerships with women's health startups from inside Optum, giving her a firsthand view of how large healthcare companies evaluate and work with smaller companies. She continues to sit close to that world today, working in strategy at Blue Cross NC while also serving as a Venture Partner at Coyote Ventures.

Avg Check Size

Coyote Ventures is led by a team with scientific backgrounds—including a GP who worked in biochemistry and product R&D at Impossible Foods and a network of scientist advisors—who review research literature and test products themselves before investing, and they use a relatively large ten-person deal team to make decisions. Rather than limiting themselves to a narrow FemTech label, they back health platforms for conditions that solely, disproportionately, or differently affect women, treating structural issues like missing billing codes and biased research design as real, investable business problems rather than just social ones.
