Brenda Irwin is the managing partner of Relentless Pursuit Partners. Brenda, along with Olympian Simon Whitfield, built this fund based on social impact. The fund invests in technology that helps to promote access to healthcare, improve mental and physical wellbeing, and engage individuals in the management of their own health.
“I stayed motivated during my entire healthcare venture career because I knew in my heart I was having an impact on people’s health,” said Irwin.
In this week’s #StartupPodcast, host Rivers Corbett talks to Brenda about building a business that strives for both profitability and social impact.
