hi π itβs me, lindsay
nice to meet you.
I founded SWIM to help early-stage tech companies get their sh*t together. If you choose SWIM, youβll work directly with me. I occasionally pull in trusted partners, but youβll always sign off on that first.
Wanna know more? πππ

Iβm a creative at heart, but love a tidy biz and thrive on continuous learning, so Iβve carved my niche as a generalist.
I have 13+ years of experience leading companies from startups through high-growth stages and beyond, taking a systems-driven and people-first approach.
As a 3X founding member of successful tech companies and a 2X employee #1, Iβve handheld some of the most visionary leaders through countless difficult decisions.
I played a key role in growing Zeta Global to over 1,000 employees by leveraging data-driven cloud technology that took them to a recent IPO at a 1.27b valuation.
In 2017, After more than a year at sea working on medical aid and oceanic research projects, I helped to found and grow EarthToday, a Netherlands-based mass-scale nature protection engine.
I also helped produce this Weather Channel documentary and this Discovery docuseries about the Arctic ice melt in the Northwest Passage.
In 2020, I led Playground through a successful $2.3M raise, then joined the team full-time to launch a scaling web 3 social platform.
For me, itβs all about building technology that allows more of our differences to create more joy and less tragedy. I do that by growing for-purpose companies with impactful technology, starting with building strong teams poised to accelerate in strategic markets.

I recently returned to Brooklyn, NY with my kiwi husband, Josh, after 5+ years as a digital nomad.
π΄ββ οΈ I spent more than a year at sea on a (good) pirate-like ship called Infinity.

π I once spent a summer retrofitting an old bus whilst crisscrossing the US.
π₯ I recently retired from my 8-year BM run as a 5X camp lead.
π€Ώ I scuba.
