Laura Malcolm
Founder & President.
Laura Malcolm is the Founder and President of Give InKind, a modern platform for coordinating support through major life events. Drawing on her product management background, Laura saw a gap in how friends, families, and communities show up for one another during life's hardest moments — and built a better way. Launched in 2016, Give InKind combines a Care Calendar, Wishlist, Crowdfunding, and Updates into one seamless support tool.

Laura bootstrapped Give InKind for three years, including relocating her family internationally twice to work alongside her development team, before raising $3.3M from leading Pacific Northwest investors including Madrona, Trilogy, Graham & Walker, and the Alliance of Angels. In December 2022, Give InKind was acquired by Pittsburgh-based Wolfe.com, where Laura continues to lead and grow the platform. She lives in Tacoma with her two young sons.
