Ideas that
move people.

Thought leadership for the frontiers of finance and technology.

§ I

The practice.

Before your idea can exist in the world, it has to exist in words. And if you’re a founder or investor working in a complex, technical field, the words you choose matter.

My process begins with immersion, getting a sense of your perspective and voice. Then comes the hard part: clarifying the idea, not just its substance, but how it translates into the real world and what’s at stake. I help to stress-test your argument and to consider it from the perspective of your most important audiences. We’re not done until you’re conveying your idea in a way that moves people — to believe, to invest, and, in the very best cases, to make it their own.

“We turn to Lizzie for help with all of our high-stakes writing and speaking: investor memos, speeches, key presentations. She knows how to humanize our story and make it accessible to any audience. The results sound like us, only better.” — Michael Mager, CEO, Precision Neuroscience

About Lizzie Widdicombe.

For sixteen years, I was a writer and editor at The New Yorker, where I wrote over two hundred Talk of the Town pieces and dozens of other stories for the magazine, working closely with some of the country’s best editorial talent.

Today, I work with a small number of clients at the frontiers of finance and technology to produce writing (and speech) that’s as brilliant as their ideas. Engagements are tailored to the needs of each client.

Sample client work is available on request.

Currently accepting a small number of engagements. Best fit for founders and investors preparing a defining moment — a fundraise, an annual letter, a major essay, a signature talk.

A craft practice, not a content service. Built more like a magazine than a marketing firm.
