Good morning, Broadsheet readers! All board members resigned from Anne Wojcicki’s 23andMe, Teresa Ribera will likely become Europe’s new antitrust chief, and Midi Health raises $5 million from a group of 80 female investors across industries. Have a terrific Thursday!
– Midlife care. Comedian Amy Schumer, actor Connie Britton, and execs from OpenAI, Meta, and Uber are among the diverse set of new investors in a $5 million fundraise for Midi Health, a virtual health care provider for women in midlife that has raised $103 million in total funding. The connective thread between them all is the need for and interest in menopause care.
“[M]ost of us in this fund who are investors are over 40 and most of us have kids and 90% of us are women and 100% of the 90% are going to go through menopause,” says Mallun Yen, founder and managing partner of Operator Collective, which organized a special purpose vehicle of 80 investors for Midi’s latest round. “I knew that this was going to be a big space and an opportunity.”
