00:00And here I would like to give Melinda Gates a lot of credit because her work at Pivotal has also
00:04been an enormous source of inspiration.

00:15So two of the best performing companies in the portfolio are Midi, online care for women in midlife, and Bobby,
00:23the infant formula company.

00:33going after.
00:34And so I think it's just a great example of why it takes women to see the value sometimes of
