# Twine Ventures

> Twine Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm "transforming human and planetary health." It writes first checks into interdisciplinary, data-obsessed founders using data and AI to transform legacy industries across healthcare, industrials, and fintech/data. Founded by Leshika Samarasinghe (ex-Google, founding member of ARPA-E, ex-Managing Partner at The Production Board), who raised a $25M debut fund in 2022; Ethan Yeh, PhD (former Head of Data Science at Stripe, director at Twitter, health economist at the World Bank) is Managing Partner. Twine Ventures is an investment firm, not an API provider: it publishes no developer portal, API documentation, or machine-readable API surface.
