Lisa Blau co-founded Able Partners using only her and her partner's own capital to back founders with maximum flexibility and speed, particularly in women's health and stigmatized categories like sexual health and cannabis. She runs anti-Shark Tank style incubator programs where every participating founder already has funding from Able, coaching women entrepreneurs through structured boot camps while intentionally bringing more women onto cap tables rather than just picking winners from pitch nights.

Notable Investments
Able Partners is a women-led venture capital fund that coined and systematically invests around "The Wellness Gap"—their proprietary framing of the disconnect between rising GDP and stagnant physical/mental health—and purpose-built their strategy to back companies in historically stigmatized areas of wellbeing like alcohol use disorder, menopause, and mental health, treating stigma as an investing edge. The fund operates an evergreen structure and treats evidence, clinical data, and scientific rigor as core filters, backing companies that combine behavioral science or clinically validated approaches with consumer-grade brand and user experience rather than trend wellness products.
