Washington Post senior writer Frances Stead Sellers speaks with Maven Clinic founder and CEO Kate Ryder about how technology has changed the health-care landscape, how the company adapted during the pandemic and providing health-care services post-Roe. Conversation recorded on Tuesday, August 16, 2022.

Kate Ryder, the founder and CEO of Maven, was early to telehealth. Ryder founded Maven in 2014 after witnessing and experiencing gaps in the women's and family healthcare model. Today, Maven offers patients access to a digital network of over 2000 providers specializing in women's and family health. It has become the first company valued at over a billion dollars in the category. This suggests investors - alongside employers and insurance companies - are recognizing the business case for comprehensive family planning and reproductive health benefits. Ryder joined Fortune CEO Alan Murray in Aspen, CO at Fortune's Brainstorm Tech Conference. In this powerful conversation, Ryder explains what healthcare shortcomings motivated her to start Maven and how the company has evolved over the past eight years. Ryder also shares how employers have responded to the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, and how the ruling is impacting her company.

In 2014, women made 80% of the healthcare decisions in the US. Yet innovation in the digital health space largely ignored their unique needs.That's when Kate Ryder launched Maven Clinic, a digital-first platform designed to support women and families with holistic care around fertility, pregnancy and parenting.Today, Maven is the largest virtual clinic for women's and family health, serving 10M people to date. Recognized as Fast Company's Most Innovative Health Company, Maven is on a mission to reduce costs and drive better health outcomes for women and children.On this episode of HLTH Matters, Kate joins hosts Dr. Gautam Gulati, Dr. Jordan Shlain and Patricia Bradley to describe how Maven serves individuals, employers and payers, helping women find healthcare providers that fit their preferences. Kate explains why Maven expanded to include family health and what the platform offers in terms of paternal and postpartum support. Listen in to understand the challenge Kate faces in scaling her team and find out how she is working to personalize the Maven experience—without compromising data security.Topics CoveredWhat inspired Kate's shift from journalism to digital healthHow Maven serves individuals, employers and payersHow Maven helps patients find best-in-class OBs and fertility clinics to fit their preferencesKate's take on why there was so little innovation around women's health prior to Maven and the challenge she faced finding investors early onWhy Kate's team expanded Maven to include family healthWhat Maven offers in terms of paternal and postpartum support for new parentsThe challenge Kate faces in scaling the Maven team at the rate she wants to innovateKate's insight on how the relationship with the patient is undervalued in the digital health ecosystemHow Kate thinks about personalizing the Maven experience without compromising data securityThe financial metrics and clinical outcomes Maven tracks Connect with Kate RyderMaven Clinic Connect with Dr. Gautam Gulati and Dr. Jordan ShlainHLTHDr. Gulati on TwitterDr. Gulati on LinkedInDr. Shlain on TwitterDr. Shlain on LinkedIn  ResourcesJawbone HealthPillPackOmadaACOGAmerican Medical AssocationGlen Tullman at TranscarentBuild Back BetterThe Teladoc Livongo Merger Introductory Quote[3:05] “Women controlled 80% of the healthcare decisions in the US, meaning they control 80% of the largest industry—a multitrillion-dollar industry. And yet, the products and services for women, particularly around that point at which they start a family, just left so much to be desired.”

Saving for college may seem like an overwhelming task, but with the U.Fund 529 College Investing Plan, you can save in an account that offers affordability, flexibility, and powerful tax advantages. Host Jonathan Hughes speaks with Massachusetts guidance counselor and U.Fund account owner Kate Ryder about how she selected the U.Fund, her experience opening her account, how she's able to save on a regular basis, and why saving for college is important to her.

When Kate Ryder founded Maven in 2014, to reimagine healthcare for women and families from the ground up, she was ahead of the curve. With virtual care delivery at its core, she's grown Maven into the largest telehealth network for women's and family health globally. Maven's growth started with a "boots on the ground" marketing strategy and was accelerated in recent years by Covid. Today, the company has a thriving B2B model that supports over 10 million families in 175 countries. Kate shares why her earlier career as a journalist makes her a stronger founder, how summers in the Adirondacks sparked her imagination and self-reliance, and how she created a new category in healthcare to fill in all the moments outside of the doctor's office.

Our caregivers need their own support systems. Most caregivers are women, and over a third of women have skipped important doctor's visits since the pandemic began. Part of that is overwhelm. But another part of it speaks to the fact that health care is not plugged into women's lives in ways that make it easier for them to access specific services at key moments or phases of life. In this episode of Ahead Health, host Jodie Lesh talks to Kate Ryder, founder and CEO of Maven Clinic. Maven's mission as a digital health platform is to connect women with the providers and information they need to start and raise a family. They discuss the gaps in care that women still face, fusing digital and traditional care, and getting women accurate information in culturally sensitive ways. 

From the 2021 Builders + Innovators Summit, Goldman Sachs' Kim Posnett speaks with two entrepreneurs—Kate Ryder, Founder and CEO of Maven, and Kabir Shahani, CEO of Amperity—about building businesses for the long-term, raising capital in an “aggressive” fundraising environment and fostering a culture of innovation.

On Thursday, September 30, 2021, Cornell Tech @ Bloomberg featured Kate Ryder, Founder & CEO of Maven, in conversation with Scarlet Fu of Bloomberg Television and Bloomberg Quicktake. During this conversation, they discussed how reporters and entrepreneurs require similar skills, why starting a healthcare company without experience in the legacy industry can be an advantage, what the COVID-19 pandemic did to transform telemedicine, and how maternal care and fertility treatment became ideal markets for disruption.

Guest host Sophie Park interviews health economist Jane Sarasohn-Kahn for this fast-paced discussion about women's health, social determinants of health and the 'she-cession' in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. We've seen the headlines during COVID-19: Rising caseloads. Millions of lives lost. Economic devastation. Schools closed. But these only tell part of the story. The impact of the pandemic on mental and physical health extends far beyond those that are directly infected with the disease. Delayed diagnosis, canceled or delayed treatment, loss of employment and the collision of home and professional responsibilities has had a tremendous and long-lasting impact. Join Jane Sarasohn-Kahn and guest host Sophie Park in this discussion about the affects of the pandemic.

The future of mental health and women's health with two healthcare CEOs Innovation in healthcare is one of the biggest stories of the last few years, and in this episode, host Sam Saperstein, talks with two CEOs who've been at the forefront of that acceleration. Kate Ryder is the founder and CEO of Maven Clinic, the largest telemedicine health provider for family health and women's health. And April Koh is founder and CEO of Spring Health, a digital wellness platform aimed at making mental wellbeing easy to navigate for businesses and employees. In this conversation, Kate and April discuss how they each drew from personal experience as they built their companies, how COVID-19 impacted telemedicine, and how sometimes knowing when to pivot is the key to continued success. Leveraging personal experience into start-up success Both Kate and April drew on their own experiences as healthcare consumers when they started their companies. For Kate, it was her interactions with the complex maternal healthcare systems that led her to believe there must be a simpler way for women to access the range of care they deserve. She recalls thinking in 2014, when she started Maven Clinics, that “there was a lot around the telemedicine space that was really exciting, but nothing was really geared toward women and families.” She also knew that it could be hard for women to access the range of specialty providers they needed as they navigated fertility, pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond. So, she founded Maven with the goal of providing women with a multidisciplinary care team to help them fill in the gaps that often exist in women's healthcare. Digital health or telemedicine is a key component of that, though Maven also offers in-person options for those who prefer that experience. For April, it was her decade-long struggle with mental health that inspired her to start Spring Health. “I went through a really lonely and a really long process of trial and error to figure out something that would work for me,” she recalls. “And I found kind of randomly what worked for me, but I know so many people are struggling in that way today.” While so many other aspects of life were becoming data-driven and personalized, she felt that mental healthcare “felt like a total guessing game, it felt like it was stuck in the dark ages.” When she learned of groundbreaking research showing that machine learning could be used to personalize mental healthcare, she reached out to the researcher, Dr. Adam Chekroud. Together they launched Spring Health with the mission of making mental healthcare more accessible and personalized for everyone. Navigating change and knowing when to pivot As healthcare CEOs at a time when telemedicine was just taking off, both Kate and April learned to adapt and move fast. Recalling a time when she had found a great mental health care provider a few blocks from home, but could not make herself leave her bed to get to an in-person appointment, April says, she always knew that “the future of mental health care is virtual.” The pandemic accelerated trends toward telemedicine that had already started. Spring Health was off to a fast start, leveraging AI to provide personalized care, and benefiting from the overall trends toward telemedicine. But they faced a hiccup when their original model of selling into provider systems was being hampered by those system's entrenched workflow issues. April's response was to pivot quickly to owning their own provider network and eliminating the workflow bottlenecks. “It's helped us move forward in our vision to deliver care,” she says. “And it's one of the things I'm most proud over the past five years. I recommended a hard pivot.” At Maven, Kate recalls a different type of pivot: shutting down a failing product. The product was birth-control subscriptions for college students, which Kate says they launched after hearing from enough parents that they would buy such a subscription for their college students. “And we realized later on, they were just being polite,” she says.  “Actually, they didn't want to think about their daughters having sex in college.” Eight months after launching the product, Maven shut it down. Luckily, they were already achieving success on other fronts and the quick pivot to shutting down the failed product spared them from big losses.

Anu sits down with Female Founders Fund portfolio founder, Kate Ryder of Maven Clinic, the first digital health clinic for women. Kate dives into the opportunity she saw to disrupt the healthcare system, her experience building women's healthcare as a new category, and how the landscape has evolved since founding Maven Clinic in 2014. They discuss the future of women's and family healthcare, explosive telemedicine growth amid the pandemic, and what all of this means for long-term adoption of digital health. Kate also shares her candid advice for female founders who are fundraising, and for leaders looking to build culture in a remote environment.

In this week's episode of Tuning Into The C-Suite, MHE's Briana Contreras spoke with Kate Ryder, CEO of Maven, which is the world’s largest virtual clinic for women’s and family health.

In this episode of The Pulse Podcast, Sandy interviews Kate Ryder, Founder & CEO at Maven Clinic, the largest telemedicine provider for family health and women, who control 80% of healthcare decisions in a $3.5 trillion healthcare industry. Besides the market dollar potential, Maven Clinic addresses critical gaps in maternity care. The U.S. maternal mortality rate has steadily increased since 2000, while declining in other countries, and its national C-section rate is 20% higher than what the WHO recommends. Today, more than a third of women and nearly half of women with children take a break from their careers, primarily because of the pull of family. Maven Clinic connects workers with OB-GYNs, nutritionists, lactation consultants, and other specialists via video chat or messaging to empower women to advocate for themselves in a broken system. With Maven Clinic, employers and health plans can see improved maternal outcomes, lower costs, and attract and retain more parents in the workforce. Maven Clinic has raised $90M as of its Series C closed February 2020, and its backers include Spring Mountain Capital, Sequoia Capital, Oak HC/FT, Female Founders Fund, Anne Wojcicki, Reese Witherspoon, Natalie Portman and Mindy Kaling. Maven Clinic was named among the world’s top 50 most innovative companies in 2020 by Fast Company, and has more than tripled the number of companies it serves in 2019 alone.

Following the Deerfield Management and Oxeon Partners-sponsored event, Breaking into the Boardroom, hosts and attendees gathered to reflect on the lack of female representation at senior levels of healthcare companies, boards, and investment firms. Leslie Henshaw, Partner at Deerfield, Kate Ryder, Founder & CEO of Maven, Carolyn Magill, CEO of Remedy Partners, and Mia Jung, Co-President of the Oxeon executive search practice highlight the unique position and responsibility of healthcare leaders and investors to make an impact on an industry where women are the majority of the decision makers and make up 75% of the work force.

Kate Ryder grew up surrounded by entrepreneurs - her father and grandparents on both sides of the family started their own businesses and set the stage for Kate's future career. When she graduated from college, Kate dreamed of becoming a writer. She made her way through the journalism network, landing jobs at the New Yorker, writing for Hank Paulson, and eventually at the Economist, where she spent 2.5 years traveling and reporting for the prestigious magazine. With the goal of eventually launching her own venture, Kate moved on to become an early stage investor at Index Ventures. Recognizing that the women's healthcare market is incredibly underserved, Kate started Maven, a digital clinic for women that connects patients with healthcare practitioners anywhere, anytime. Kate has been building Maven since April 2015 and has expanded to same day prescription services and Maven Maternity, which helps and supports women from pregnancy through childbirth, postpartum, and returning to the workplace. We're proud to celebrate all that Kate and Maven are doing for women on International Women's Day.

I first heard about Kate Ryder of Maven Clinic when I was attending a conference in Las Vegas earlier this year. The conference was actually not focused on healthcare, but when I was speaking to one of the other attendees about what I do, she immediately said “You have got to get in touch with Kate Ryder, the founder of Maven Clinic.” Kate hasn’t always been involved in healthcare. She started out as a journalist for the Economist and she lived and worked in Southeast Asia, NY, and London. She then joined Venture capital firm Index Ventures in London, and she focused on investments in consumer technology, health and education. Now, she’s the CEO and founder of Maven, the world’s first digital clinic designed specifically to empower women and provide access to better health information and services. Kate shares with us her perspective on how she got her business started, and how it has grown and evolved. In addition to providing convenient, affordable and accessible information, they’ve been really creative in the way they have engaged their users to become ambassadors for their company and brand.
