About The Live Podcast
The Capital Flex codifies the capital playbook so founders don’t have to learn the hard way.
Hosted by Naseem Sayani, the podcast goes behind the fundraising headlines to unpack what really happens when founders raise capital, from investor dynamics and terms to strategy and the decisions that shape a company’s path.
For this live episode, Naseem sits down with Noel Pugh, Founder & CEO of Lōvu Health, an AI-native maternal health platform transforming pregnancy care across the U.S.
With 26 years of experience across healthcare, technology, and commercialization, Noel is rethinking how maternal care can be delivered and scaled through technology, remote monitoring, behavioral health, and care navigation.
