In episode 78 of Venture Everywhere, Alessandra Henderson, co-founder and former CEO of Elektra Health and LP of Everywhere Ventures, chats with Fifi Kara, co-founder and CEO of Aster — an AI-powered operating system for women’s health clinics working outside traditional hospital systems. Fifi shares Aster’s origins, sparked by a family medical crisis, and its evolution into a mission-driven platform designed to equip midwives and OB-GYNs with smarter, more supportive tools. Fifi also discusses how Aster is replacing outdated legacy software with a unified platform that streamlines workflows, enhances clinical decision-making, and expands access to patient-centered women’s healthcare across the U.S.
In this episode, you will hear:
- Delivering care in rural areas affected by labor unit closures and private equity buyouts
- Co-designing with midwives and OB-GYNs to match real clinical workflows
- Expanding access to care by supporting out-of-hospital women’s health providers
