Key people at The Helm.
The Helm operates as an early-stage venture firm, strategically identifying and investing in technology-driven companies founded by women. The firm provides essential capital to ventures demonstrating significant promise, with a core focus on addressing and correcting the historical underrepresentation of female founders in venture capital funding. Its investment thesis centers on backing innovative solutions that leverage technology to solve difficult problems.
The Helm was founded by Lindsey Taylor Wood, who serves as its General Partner. The firm commenced its investment activities with its first fund in 2018, with Julie Weber joining as COO and General Partner at its inception.

The Helm's overarching vision centers on fostering an investment ecosystem where innovation led by women receives equitable support, rooted in the belief that diverse founding teams drive superior outcomes and returns. It aims to empower a future shaped by companies that are actively built, led, and designed by women.
