About
Avantika brings an operator's background to venture investing, having previously helped lead a Nasdaq IPO and served on boards before joining Plum Alley, where she helped architect their model of aggregating capital to back women and gender-diverse founders in STEM before this became mainstream. She focuses on what she calls hard problems in regulated markets like healthcare, which she describes as Unhealthcare, and has built a platform for surfacing under-networked founders through her speaking at entrepreneur roundtables and impact events.
