What happens when women finally hold the purse strings of venture capital? In this episode of The Klickline, Mina Kim sits down with Trish Costello—internationally recognized pioneer, Founder of Portfolia, and often referred to as the Godmother of Venture Capital.

Trish shares her journey from small-town Kansas to shaping the VC landscape through the Kauffman Fellows Program and Portfolia, which now spans over 2,000 women investors worldwide. Together, Mina and Trish dive into:

The $30 trillion wealth transfer to women by 2030—and what it means for innovation especially in women's health - a previously ignored segment of the investment industry.

The booming field of women’s health startups, from menopause and bone density to endometriosis and beyond. Spoiler alert: Trish was the first to invest in women's health since 2018.

Why women investors consistently outperform and how patience, research, and values drive returns.

How AI and new venture models are accelerating breakthroughs once overlooked.

The importance of owning the agenda rather than asking for permission.

Whether you’re an investor, entrepreneur, or just curious about the future of money and health, this conversation shows how women are rewriting the rules of wealth—and why the next big venture story just might have your name on it.
