Chelsea Clinton is reportedly in the 'very early stages' of forming her own venture capital firm

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.

If Hillary replaces Biden I’m sure Chelsea will have a huge surge of “investors”.

Has there ever been a family that has profiteered from politics more than these Arkie grifters?

I would think that Obama probably made them look like amateurs.

You don't think he got some *major* kickback from the vast sums he sent to Iran?

I thought after one of her jobs - maybe on wall street - she announced “I just couldn’t care about money”.

So what changed?

Good thing Chels convinced her very good friend Ivanka to get Daddy to lay off having her family’s many crimes prosecuted once he became president!

Doubtful she will be better at investing than the moron she is married to who managed to lose close to all the money in his 35 million dollar hedge fund. The good news is it was all Goldman dems like Blankfein who were invested in it

Webb's daughter is getting the fbi files, and computer files from her witch of a mother and uncle bill and so is starting her own blackmail business.

The klintoons/Hubbell spawn of satan is striking out on her own.
