About The Helm

Innovation is not gender-specific, yet only 2% of venture capital goes to female founders. The Helm is changing that.

If we want the future to include companies that consider women, are led by women, and create wealth for women, we need to invest in them.

We are finding and investing in undervalued companies at a stage when they show incredible, defensible promise; giving them the capital to deliver on that promise.

Female-founded startups outperform companies with all-male founding teams, delivering twice as much per dollar invested as those founded by men.
