Ideas that
move people.
Writing for the frontiers of finance and technology
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 almost as much as the idea itself. I work with founders and investors to identify their most original ideas and share them in a way that moves people — to believe, to invest, and, in the very best cases, to make them their own.

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, collaborating with some of the country’s best editorial talent. Today, I work with a small number of clients at the frontiers of tech and finance to produce writing that’s as brilliant as they are.
Sample client work is available on request.
