Laura Malcolm
Give InKind
Laura Malcolm is the Founder + President of Give InKind, a modern platform for coordinating support through major life events. After experiencing the loss of her first child, Laura took her Product Management background and created an easier way for friends, families and communities to offer help when it's needed most. In 2016, Give InKind was launched, combining a Care Calendar, Wishlist, Crowdfunding and Updates into one aggregated support tool. Laura bootstrapped Give InKind for 3 years, taking her family across the world twice to save money and work with Give InKind's offshore development team. Give InKind went on to raise $3.3M from top investors in Seattle. In December 2022, they were acquired by Pittsburgh-based gift card industry leader, Wolfe.com, where she'll continue to lead and grow Give InKind. She has two young sons at home and is a native of Tacoma, where Give InKind is based.
