Chelsea Clinton is reportedly entering the venture capital scene.
That's according to Axios' Kia Kokalitcheva and Dan Primack, who reported Thursday morning that Clinton is in the "very early stages" of forming a new fund called Metrodora Ventures, named after one of the first women to write a medical text.
Axios reports that Clinton is still determining whether she wants to become a full-time VC, but noted that the name of the fund was registered in April, there's a draft pitch deck being passed around, and Metrodora Ventures has its own Twitter account, created in July.
On Twitter, the firm describes itself as "a values conscious venture capital firm focused on health and learning businesses." According to Axios, Clinton has committed to personally investing in two startups, including Poppy Seed Health, an app that connects pregnant people with nurses, midwives, and doulas for 24/7 support. Those investments would be rolled into the fund, Axios reports.
A spokesperson for Clinton did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.
Clinton is currently vice chair of the Clinton Foundation and a public health expert, teaching at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University. Clinton has been involved in investing and startups in the past: She worked at $12 billion hedge fund Avenue Capital, launched a professional development network for female entrepreneurs working in renewable energy, and currently serves on the boards of IAC, Expedia Group, and telemedicine startup Nurx.

Oh, Good Lord.
Oh gosh, she’s SO qualified to do that!
(Cough cough...money laundering slush fund)
Haha....I guess her loser hedge fund Husband taught her nothing.
I hope she’s as successful as her husband was!
Oh, believe me, he taught her EVERYTHING!
Hey Chelsea, I am looking for VC money to sell cloth computer wipes.
an app that connects pregnant people with nurses
This is an example of today’s sensitive language, and being sensitive to transsexuals. We aren’t supposed to talk of “pregnant women”, because that implies that only women can be pregnant.
But in today’s sensitive era towards transsexuals, if we say “pregnant people”, then that is inclusive of the small number of biological females who identify as men but somehow became pregnant anyway.
Aren’t venture capital firms evil capitalist institutions?
Or are the only evil capitalist institutions if run by evil Republicans? But if run by good Democrats, then they are ok?
Has Chelsea Clinton ever had a real job, where real job performance results were expected of her?
I know she had a job with NBC for a while. But she only got that job due to who her parents are.
And I think she’s an official of the Clinton Foundation, but again, has that lucrative payday only because of who her parents are.
Gee i wonder if any foreign governments will start “investing” with her. Another Clinton slush fund
To be funded by Clinton Foundation money.
If she is like mama she’ll be able to turn a $3,000 investment into $100,000
or like Terry McAwful turn $100,000 into $17,000,000
Her mom can teach her all about trading pork belly futures.

It's Chelsea Doody time!
Exactly where did she earn the money to become a VC? And exactly what kind of business experience does she have in making a good investment. (Yeah, I know. It doesn’t work that way if you are a Clinton.)
“Haha....I guess her loser hedge fund Husband taught her nothing.”
And I wish her equal success. He was pimping Greek bonds as they crashed.
She and Mooschelle can have a debate about who’s benefited from more airbrushing.
Another pay-to-play money-laundering operation like the Clinton Crime Family Foundation.
The corruption doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Someday, we’re going to have to take these people down.
