About
Lindsey Taylor Wood founded The Helm after advising philanthropists on gender equity, giving her an unusual blend of philanthropy and venture investing experience that shapes how she measures return beyond pure financials. She built The Helm as a community platform that invites first-time investors into venture by lowering check sizes and treating capital formation among women as part of her job as a GP, while using the firm's editorial arm to actively build the brands and cultural relevance of founders she backs.
