克林顿希拉里之女成立风险投资公司，重点投资医疗教育业
三个月前有媒体曝光称，切尔西•克林顿正在考虑创建一家风险投资公司，三个月后，这家公司已经投入运营，而且发展迅速。
10月20日，Metrodora Ventures公布了最新的投资项目，这是该公司成立至今公开投资的第三家初创公司。Metrodora Ventures在其推特（Twitter）账户上标注为“一家注重价值的风险投资公司，致力于医疗和学习产业”。
Metrodora向《财富》杂志独家披露称，该基金将投资Oula Health公司。Oula Health承诺打造一个“现代化的产科中心”，提供不同形式的孕期和分娩护理，涉及助产术到妇产科等各个领域。该初创公司由阿德里安娜•尼克森和伊莱恩•珀塞尔共同创立。Metrodora参与了该初创公司的320万美元种子轮融资。其他投资者包括Female Founders Fund、Rock Health和生育保健公司Maven的创始人及首席执行官凯特•赖德。此轮融资由Collaborative Fund领投。Oula计划在纽约开设一家产前临床和分娩中心，并提供虚拟指导。
关于对该初创公司的投资，克林顿在向《财富》杂志提供的声明中说：“女性尤其是孕期女性，应该是该公司医疗保健服务的核心用户。人们的就诊体验应该是协作性和全方位的。Metrodora很荣幸能支持Oula Health，为女性提供全方位的产前和产后护理。”
尼克森和珀塞尔计划将在其他国家更为常见的孕期护理服务引入美国，比如在助产士的看护下分娩等。尼克森说：“我们在融资过程中与许多投资者进行过交流，切尔西是其中最有智慧的投资者之一。她拥有公共卫生领域的背景。她对我们如何在美国借鉴其他国家的成功做法，非常感兴趣。”
克林顿在公共卫生领域的背景包括取得了哥伦比亚大学（Columbia University）梅尔曼公共卫生学院（Mailman School of Public Health）的硕士学位，并在该学院任教，还曾通过克林顿基金会（Clinton Foundation）参与相关领域的工作。克林顿最近参加了《财富》最具影响力的新一代商界女性峰会（Most Powerful Women Next Gen Summit），谈到了在新冠疫情背景下人们对接种疫苗犹豫不觉的问题。她还是Clover Health和Nurx等初创公司的董事会成员。
Metrodora Ventures最近的一项投资显示出克林顿对这个领域的兴趣。Metrodora Ventures投资了一家孕妇保健领域的初创公司Poppy Seed Health；该公司的应用程序支持用户以文本的形式提出与怀孕和医疗保健有关的问题。
Metrodora到目前为止公布的第三笔投资是Fiveable，这家初创公司从事的是该公司关注的另外一个领域。Fiveable的创始人及首席执行官阿曼达•多阿玛拉尔主持开发的教育技术平台，为高中生提供了社交学习的机会。
克林顿在一份声明中谈到投资Fiveable的交易时称：“这种解决方案解决了年轻人的需求和挑战，投资这种解决方案就是投资美国的未来。随着Metrodora Ventures的成立，我们很激动能够支持像阿曼达这样的领导者和Fiveable这样的公司。阿曼达积极推动普及优质教育，她的所有决策都以此为中心。Fiveable则致力于在课堂内外培养学生的创造力和批判性思维。”
Metrodora基金表示，其名称源自古希腊，是以第一本由女性编写的医书《女性的疾病与治疗》（On the Diseases and Cures of Women）的作者命名的。（财富中文网）

Just three months after news broke that Chelsea Clinton was considering forming a venture capital firm, that firm is not just up and running, but also quickly gaining momentum.
On October 20, Metrodora Ventures, identified on its Twitter account as "a values-conscious venture capital firm focused on health and learning businesses," announced its latest investment, the third startup the firm has publicly backed since its launch.
Metrodora exclusively revealed to Fortune that it is investing in Oula Health, a company that promises to be a "modern maternity center" combining different forms of pregnancy and birth care, from midwifery to obstetrics. Metrodora participated in a $3.2 million seed round for the startup, which is cofounded by Adrianne Nickerson and Elaine Purcell. Other investors include Female Founders Fund, Rock Health, and Kate Ryder, the CEO and founder of the fertility care company Maven. Collaborative Fund led the round. Oula plans to open a New York prenatal clinic and birth center as well as offer virtual coaching.
"Women should be at the center of their health care, especially during pregnancy," Clinton said in a statement to Fortune about her investment in the startup. "That experience should be collaborative and holistic, and Metrodora is proud to support Oula Health to create an approach that does just that for prenatal and postpartum care.”
Nickerson and Purcell are aiming to make more accessible forms of pregnancy care that are more common outside the United States—like birth under the supervision of midwives. "Chelsea was one of the smartest investors we chatted with during the process," says Nickerson. "She has a public health background. She was excited about—how do we take models we know work in other countries and apply them to the U.S.?"
Clinton's public health background includes earning a master's degree from and teaching at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health as well as working on related issues through the Clinton Foundation. Clinton recently joined Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Next Gen Summit for a conversation about vaccine hesitancy in the context of COVID-19. She also sits on the boards of startups Clover Health and Nurx.
Another recent investment by Metrodora Ventures demonstrates Clinton's interest in the field. The fund backed Poppy Seed Health, also a startup in the maternal health space; the app allows users to submit by text questions about pregnancy and health care.
The third investment Metrodora has so far made public was in Fiveable, a startup on the other side of the firm's stated interests. The education technology platform led by founder and CEO Amanda DoAmaral provides social learning for high school students.
"Investing in solutions that answer young people's needs and challenges is an investment in our country's future," Clinton said in a statement about backing Fiveable. "As we launch Metrodora Ventures, we're thrilled to be supporting a leader like Amanda, whose passion for democratizing access to high-quality education is at the core of every decision, and a company like Fiveable that fosters creativity and critical thinking for students inside and outside the classroom."
Metrodora gets its name, the fund says, from ancient Greece, after the author of On the Diseases and Cures of Women, the first medical text known to have been written by a woman.
