Ulili Onovakpuri invests in healthcare with a personal connection, having grown up with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and drawing on that experience to back products that ease healthcare disparities and the financial strain families face in treatment decisions.

• Prioritizes investments in healthcare and digital health innovation, particularly solutions that address underserved markets or global needs. A notable example is her excitement regarding her first healthcare investment on the African continent, Malaica, as well as her active search for new healthcare companies at events like AfroTech.
• A strong commitment to elevating Black women in leadership and supporting diversity and inclusion initiatives. This is evident in her frequent promotion of the Win With Black Women network and her defense of DEI efforts by pointing out how many leadership roles are still seeing first-time minority representation even in 2025.
• Values vulnerability and empathy within the founder ecosystem, advocating for transparent conversations about personal challenges. For instance, she expressed appreciation for leaders discussing fertility journeys to remove stigma and openly shared her own preference for phone calls over video meetings to manage chronic illness.
• Engagement with broader social impact issues, ranging from gun safety to food security. She frequently comments on the intersection of policy and community well-being, such as praising political initiatives that prioritized feeding students in schools and critiquing the prioritization of banning books over banning hunger.
• Appreciation for corporate responsibility and the power of the individual investor. She used the Tesla trial as a teaching moment to illustrate how even a shareholder with a very small amount of stock can exercise activism and hold corporate leadership accountable.
