In this powerful and visionary episode, Tracy
Holland interviews Rachel Springate, co-founder of Muse Capital —
an early-stage venture fund focused on consumer tech, women’s
health, childcare, elder care, and other underserved yet
high-growth markets.
Rachel shares her remarkable journey from hospitality and media to
building one of the most respected venture firms in Silicon Valley
— all without a traditional finance background. Her superpower?
Relationship capital and radical conviction.
From co-founder Assia’s health journey to breakthrough investments
in women’s health, Rachel offers an inside look into what it takes
to lead, scale, and rewrite the narrative for women in VC.
Episode Highlights
- How relationship capital became Muse Capital’s greatest strength.
- The billion-dollar blind spot in women’s health, childcare, and elder care.
- Why fundraising without a finance background made Rachel stronger.
- Personal resilience: Assia’s cancer diagnosis and its impact on their mission.
- How women can build legacy wealth by learning to write the check.
“As long as you have something no one else has, that’s
your superpower. Use it.”
Rachel’s journey reminds us that grit, reputation, and
mission-driven investing can outpace traditional credentials. Her
success proves that women don’t need permission to lead — they just
need belief in their unique value.
