As a first generation American, Florence was uninsured the first half of her life and uniquely understands the impact of inequitable healthcare access. After a personal experience with negative health impacts due to delays in prior authorization, she realized how administrative processes can significantly impact patient health.Her lifelong passion for improving the state of healthcare in the United States drove her to roles focused on healthtech investing across roles in the VC and entrepreneurial ecosystem. During her Cornell MBA, she focused on gaining expertise within healthtech through coursework and experiential learning. Fig Medical was spun out of Cornell Tech during her final year and the team has since invested hundreds of hours interviewing and shadowing critical stakeholders as well as developing our software with the goal of improving equitable healthcare access.
