Angelica Maestas ^{Top-Executive}

I’m a founder, investor, and ecosystem builder working at the intersection of innovation, inclusion, and impact.

As Director of Strategic Partnerships & New Mexico Expansion at Builders VC, I help bring capital, visibility, and resources to overlooked markets — and build bridges between startups, industry, and community to drive meaningful change.

With 15+ years in healthtech and a lifelong commitment to advancing health equity, I bring lived experience, operator instincts, and connector energy to everything I do — whether it’s backing bold founders, launching pilot programs, or designing spaces for collaboration and conversation.

💡 Where I’m focused:
• Builders VC – Leading strategic partnerships and expanding our presence in New Mexico.
• HealthInno – Accelerating healthcare innovation through community-driven events, pilots, and workforce initiatives.
• She’s Ambitious AF (on Spotify & Apple Podcasts)– Hosting conversations with fearless women founders and funders building on their own terms.

Let’s connect if you’re building innovation ecosystems, designing programs that drive impact, or funding bold ideas in healthcare, climate, or industrials. Innovation shouldn’t happen in isolation — and it should serve all of us.
