Chelsea Clinton, former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s daughter, is thinking about forming a venture capital firm, Axios reported Thursday.
Clinton has reportedly been considering the startup for months. A venture capital firm “Metrodora Ventures,” named after the first known female who authored a medical textbook, was registered in New York in April, according to the Axios report.
