She explains how Scale’s new fund is backing women founders in healthcare, disability, climate, and the care economy, turning lived experience into high-impact, high-return innovation.For doctors, this episode opens a new lens on investing. It’s about using your capital to fund the very problems you see on the frontlines, diversifying beyond property or shares, and supporting ideas that create both financial and social returns.If you’ve ever wondered how venture capital really works, or how doctors can take part in the next wave of innovation, this conversation will expand your definition of what smart investing looks like.-----TIME STAMPS:00:00 Hook/Intro02:09 Introduction to Samara Mcheileh and Female-Focused Fund02:48 Samar's Journey as Medical Angel06:27 What does investing mean for Samar10:10 Journey into Venture Capital and Gender Dynamics16:56 Economic Opportunity and Market Inefficiencies28:02 Fund Structure and Investor Support36:22 Conclusion/Outro-----SHOW NOTES LINKShttps://ifdgroup.com.au/ https://doctorbi.com.au/ https://au.linkedin.com/in/mian-bihttps://www.linkedin.com/in/samarmcheileh/https://scaleinvestors.com.au/https://www.instagram.com/scaleinvestors/----- LISTEN TO THE PODCAST Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/07DS5AxlbgmkuvP6zQGgtN Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/investing-for-doctors-podcast/id1775535608 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b9de46bc-e29d-4402-9e9e-959a3a5dc8da/investing-for-doctors-podcast ----- FIND US HERE Website: https://ifdgroup.com.au/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/investingfordoctors ----- DISCLAIMER The information provided in this podcast is for general purposes only and should not be considered personal advice.
