I’ve spent my career at the intersection of social good, business and technology, notably as an executive coach to startup founders and leading the Zahn Innovation Center at The City College of New York (CUNY). At Company Ventures, I created our North Star program to support founders to codify their values and purpose, commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, and I run our workforce development efforts. Throughout my career I’ve worked across sectors - corporate, nonprofit, university, government. Early in my career, I managed The Black Sheep Inn, an ecolodge in rural Ecuador, learning the true impact of responsible business. I’ve earned an MBA from the Yale School of Management and a BS from Northwestern, and I sit on the advisory boards of CUNY Tech Prep and the Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership’s MPA program.

This initiative offers the network and resources of the venture capital ecosystem and the inroads with city government in support of NYC social entrepreneurs working in the areas of economic equity and climate justice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd96557dde7cb43cc16cde4/b75b0049-5092-432c-88d4-1f109c6c6ecf/DEIplaybook.png Lindsay Siegel - Applying a DEI Lens for Early-Stage Startups 2023 I believe founders must put DEI at the top of their priority lists early on. Even if you set aside the moral argument to build a more inclusive future, lack of diversity creates a built-in trust gap, setting up a company for needless struggles and risk. This playbook collects resources and tools for founders to apply a DEI lens from the earliest days of company building. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd96557dde7cb43cc16cde4/9f1fd4bc-b2d1-427e-ae42-c8e68bb10438/boost_photo.jpg Lindsay Siegel - Pre-Accelerator for Underrepresented Founders 2023 Boost Founder Fellowship is a pre-accelerator for historically underserved founders in NYC’s venture community. I have developed with support from the City to connects Black, Brown, Latine, womxn and LGBTQ+ founders with resources to catalyze their businesses — including culturally competent mentorship and technical assistance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd96557dde7cb43cc16cde4/185a841b-4342-46ee-a1e5-5e517b899c07/fotor_2023-1-31_11_14_41.png Lindsay Siegel - Investing in Remote Internships Summer 2020 As our city and country grapple with the layers of complexity that we face in 2020, a well-designed internship program takes on added importance. We must invest in workforce development opportunities that open doors to careers for under-represented communities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd96557dde7cb43cc16cde4/1611673899932-5GS1E27IFGIQWXW2OQG0/northstar.jpg Lindsay Siegel - A Better Way to Build a Business Fall 2020 Our goal through Company Ventures’ North Star Program is to equip young companies to grow into mature, responsible businesses, yielding bigger business opportunities, stronger social impact, a more equitable tech sector, and a more sustainable future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd96557dde7cb43cc16cde4/1611674740883-66XQJ63FWVFMQRS8VRQ8/stockimglaptop.jpg Lindsay Siegel - Hiring With a DEI Lens Fall 2019 Blog series developed in collaboration with Brandice Sills-Payne Founders put so much into building their teams — finding new hires who not only offer the right skills, but who will also add new perspectives to their organizations.
