The Helm
Overview
The Helm is a New York City-based early-stage venture firm investing in game-changing companies founded by women. By investing in female-founded and underfunded technology-enabled companies, greater social and financial returns can be realized. We believe that innovation is not gender-specific, so we do not accept that 97.5 percent of the most valuable capital supporting innovation should go to male founders only. It is imperative that female voices have a role in creating the companies, technologies, and systems that will shape our future.
