About Sharon Knight
I work as a startup growth strategist, board member, and investor who works to advance healthcare innovation and health equity with a focus on increasing wellness and preventing disease to improve health span. My strengths are seeing and operationalizing opportunities, making value-added connections, and fostering partnerships between companies and individuals. If you are a startup founder or investor interested in shifting focus from sick care to health care or developing new models for care delivery and engagement, please get in touch.
Experience
Founding Lp
May 2020 — Present · San Francisco, CA, US
How Women Invest is an early stage venture firm seeking to realize untapped economic potential by focusing on the intersection of female founders and female investors. Only 2% of companies founded by women get venture backing, though 40% of companies were founded by women, and they generate 26% greater return than those founded by men. Together, with sister organization How Women Lead, a professional network of women, we see female founders as a force to be reckoned with and work to create ecosystem change by investing in and amplifying female-led and female-majority owned companies with venture capital and mentoring resources.
