Maven Founder and CEO Kate Ryder recently sat down with the hosts of “A Healthy Dose” to talk innovation, storytelling, and what it means to put women and families at the center of healthcare. Kate joined Steve Kraus, Healthcare Partner at Bessemer Venture Partners, and Trevor Price, Founder/CEO of Oxeon Partners & General Partner at Town Hall Ventures, for their popular healthcare industry podcast.

In diving into her path from journalist to venture capitalist to founder and CEO of Maven, Kate spoke about why storytelling is an entrepreneurial superpower and the importance of listening when it comes to creating meaningful, useful products:

“I love listening to what the stories are and then crafting a solution to the problems.”

Kate shared her vision for transforming women’s and family healthcare through Maven, and talked through the ways that we’re working to do that every day with providers, employers, health plans, and members. She shared insights about some of the key trends we’re seeing in the market that are driving our innovations for family benefits, including global access parity and diverse paths to parenthood.
