Maneesha Ghiya is a healthcare investor at FemHealth Ventures whose decision to focus on women's health was directly driven by a life-threatening postpartum hemorrhage and ICU stay after her daughter's birth at a top academic hospital. She has invested exclusively in healthcare for 25+ years across both private venture capital and public hedge funds, and helped formalize a widely adopted framework in 2019 that defines women's health across three categories: only women, mostly women, and differently in women.

FemHealth Ventures is the first fund to formally define women's health investing through its proprietary three-category framework of "only in women, mostly in women, and differently in women," which has been widely adopted across the sector since 2019. The fund builds its investment thesis on the biological principle that every cell has a sex, emphasizing that all cells in a woman's body have XX chromosomes versus XY in men, requiring sex-specific treatment approaches across drugs, devices, diagnostics, and digital technologies.
