Backing the people building a healthier, wealthier future for women.
Yellow Cherry Capital invests and advises at the intersection of women's health and financial empowerment traditional capital has overlooked for too long.
Operator-built. Founder-first.
Yellow Cherry Capital is built on two decades of operating, launching, and scaling ventures in global health - not just watching from the sidelines. We know what it takes to build something that matters, because we've built it ourselves.
-
Early-stage capital and LP commitments in funds and founders solving women's health and wealth challenges.
-
Hands-on strategy for founders navigating market evaluation, fundraising, and go-to-market — especially in medical device and biotech.
-
A global network spanning venture, global health institutions, and founder communities across the US, Europe, and beyond.
Everyone benefits when women's health and wealth are treated as the trillion-dollar opportunities they are not niche categories.
MEET THE FOUNDER
Katie Kirsch
Operator-turned-venture-capitalist working at the intersection of global health, venture capital, and founder support.
I started my career building things, not investing in them. Co-founding Sisu Global Health taught me what it actually takes to bring a life-saving medical device - a WHO-approved blood transfusion technology - from prototype to market across Africa and Southeast Asia, raising more than $6M along the way. That operator's-eye view is what I now bring to every founder and fund I work with.
Today I invest as an angel and Venture Partner at Mindshift Capital, a global women-run VC investing in post-seed and early-stage companies across the US, Europe, and the Middle East. Through my own practice and angel investments, I advise founders and ecosystem-builders on medical device and biotech market evaluation, international strategy, and entrepreneurial ecosystem development. I also co-founded Founder Forward Michigan, a year-long fellowship supporting high-growth founders across Detroit and Grand Rapids.
Yellow Cherry Capital brings all of that together: a home for the investing, advising, and connecting I do at the intersection of women's health and wealth two areas I believe are chronically undervalued and enormously overdue for capital.
