Lindsay Hyde shared thisIt is with the deepest sadness that I share that my incredible husband, Blair Baldwin, died in his sleep due to a cardiac event on Monday, April 27th. Blair was a brilliant human who radiated humor, joy, and love. In addition to his incredible personal and professional accomplishments, Blair was an amazing father to our three daughters and the absolute love of my life. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, May 9th, at 10am at St. James Church in Woodstock, Vermont. https://lnkd.in/e4Q68P32Blair Fahnestock Baldwin | 1979 - 2026 | Online-Tribute.comBlair Fahnestock Baldwin | 1979 - 2026 | Online-Tribute.com

Lindsay Hyde shared thisLindsay Hyde shared thisThe HealthTech Fellows have been making tremendous strides in their work these last few months. While they are currently participating in externship and professional development experiences, some of the Fellows have also been taking Lindsay Hyde's Avoiding Startup Failure course at Harvard Business School. Angela J Feldhaus shares her experience: "The class has fundamentally changed the way I view entrepreneurship and failure. Learning from founders who have been willing to share their failures with honesty and vulnerability has been truly transformative. The course has imparted the vital lesson that failure is inevitable, but can also serve as a powerful catalyst for growth and learning. I am incredibly grateful to Lindsay for providing us with the opportunity to learn from so many amazing founders." The lessons and insights gained from this course will undoubtedly serve the HealthTech Fellows well as they continue to innovate and push the boundaries of the healthcare industry!

Lindsay Hyde shared thisShaila I. thank you for bringing your courage, smarts, and vulnerability to our students. They learned so much and had a ton of fun doing it!Lindsay Hyde shared thisLife came full circle today when I returned to Harvard Business School as a case protagonist. Last year, I shared Profs Thomas Eisenmann & Lindsay Hyde’s ask for failed founders to connect with students in their new ‘Entrepreneurial Failure’ (now ‘Avoiding Startup Failure’) course. In my survey response, I caveated Enstitute was a nonprofit & likely not what they were looking for… little did I know, it was exactly what they were looking for. Today, Enstitute debuted as a HBS case study. It was incredibly rewarding to channel my inner Brené Brown, embrace vulnerability, and have a brutally candid discussion in the class and with a smaller groups of students afterwards. Hearing ~90 ECs (2nd years) analyze ‘2014 Shaila’ and her decision making was -- to put it mildly -- humbling. Thank you first and foremost to Lindsay Hyde. She not only fiercely advocated to add a non profit to the course, she is also the talented professor who turned my ramblings into a compelling case with a brilliantly structured lesson plan. I got so into the discussion that there was one moment where she turned to me to provide context on the topic at hand and I was caught off guard - I had completely forgotten I was the protagonist🤣. Thank you Thomas Eisenmann for creating a course that acknowledges the fact that most startups fail, and because of that, there is value in not just deep diving into the patterns of those failures, but also teachable opportunities on how to “fail well.” Thank you Noam Wasserman for creating Founder’s Dilemma and making yourself available to annoying former students who can’t get your lessons out of their heads. Thank you Toby Stuart & the many Harvard Business School faculty & staff responsible for getting TEM (the entrepreneurial manager) added to RC (required curriculum) year; that class challenged my preconceived notions around the definition of “entrepreneur” and changed not just how I approached EC year, but my entire career. Thank you Emily Minkow for being an incredible friend, supporter, and subtle papparrazzi. And based on my instagram dms, guess I owe a thank you to Sam Edelman for creating boots that have generated a tidal wave of praise and compliments😆

Lindsay Hyde shared thisOlivia vonNieda and Jackson Shuttleworth brought their co-founder story to my Harvard Business School class, Avoiding Startup Failure. The Kavnia Coffee case we wrote with Thomas Eisenmann and ASF alumn Jiyoon H. highlights how founders can build a business aligned with their core values and successfully navigate a "good failure."

Lindsay Hyde shared thisSarah Kunst brought her knowledge and passion as a rebound-founder-turned-investor to my Harvard Business School class, “Avoiding Startup Failure.” The case Thomas Eisenmann and I wrote on her startup, Proday, asks the question: when your playbook suddenly no longer works because the game has fundamentally changed, how should an entrepreneur respond?

Lindsay Hyde shared thisI’m teaching an MBA course at Harvard Business School called “Entrepreneurial Failure” with the legendary Thomas Eisenmann. We explore ways to anticipate and avoid startup failure — and if it can’t be avoided, how to fail well. With the goal of learning how to fail well, I’m having my students interview founder/CEOs who've had direct experience with startup failure. If you’ve been the founder/CEO of a failed startup — a shutdown or an asset sale— I’d be grateful for your help. This involves getting started with this 5-minute survey (https://lnkd.in/enUAWX27) then following up with a 45 minute Zoom interview with a team of two MBA students in March. Students will share insights they gleaned from their interviews with classmates, but will not identify founders by name or company. Not a failed founder yourself? If you know founder/CEOs whose ventures failed who’d be willing to talk to my students about the experience, please share! Thanks very much!

Lindsay Hyde liked thisLindsay Hyde liked thisBuilding Guild Garage Group over the last two years has taught me that entrepreneurship is the ultimate team sport. From our incredible Brand Presidents to our corporate team, to all the technicians in the field, this journey has been powered by a true team of people. I am forever grateful to every individual who believed in the vision of a couple crazy 26-year-olds and then dedicated their lives to making that vision a reality. While we are proud of all that we have accomplished, our ambitions for what Guild can become are far greater. Joe Delaney, Sean Slazyk, and I look forward to working with the Oak Hill Capital team in the years ahead to take GGG to even further heights by leveraging their expertise and resources. I couldn't be more excited for all that we will accomplish together moving forward. The best is yet to come. Steven Puccinelli, I'll see you tomorrow at 6am at JFK airport, we got new partners to find!! #LFG #JOBNOTFINISHED

Flash forward, and I'm a co-founder of Familiar Machines & Magic with Colin Angle and Chris Jones. Recently, I had the chance to sit down with the HBS Careers team and talk about my career journey, leadership growth, and the continued value of an MBA education.

Lindsay Hyde liked thisLindsay Hyde liked thisSo you want to write a book... I've been threatening to write a series about the different steps, my experience and best practices for a while. There's no motivation like telling everyone you know you're going to do something. So here's a start with an outline of the most important steps, and a promise to elaborate on each between now and book launch (117 days!). But first, I'm contractually obligated to share that there are two promos on my book preorder right now :) - 25% off at Simon and Schuster: https://lnkd.in/ePbEzrJT and Buy 2 Get 1 Free at Target (free Target circle membership req'd): https://lnkd.in/eW6MqqNr

Lindsay Hyde liked thisLindsay Hyde liked thisSome big professional news: I left McKesson Compile at the end of February. My four years at Compile were transformative - I leave with wisdom, lessons learned and cherished friendships (but more on that in the next few weeks). I am deeply grateful to Isaac Fehrenbach, who kickstarted my journey at Compile. He hired, mentored, managed, and coached me. I learned a lot about great leadership and vision by his example. The photos below are of my first day going to the Compile office in Kormangala and my last day leaving the McKesson Compile office in Bengaluru. I’ve evolved much more than just my hair color and length, although astute observers will note that my favorite sweater is still in rotation. As I said in my last All In meeting to the team - this is the end of an era for me, but I am confident that the team will continue to develop and deliver great products. They are smart, resilient and responsive. The opportunities to step up are many - step up to the plate! As for me, I will be taking a few quarters to (1) spend time with my community, (2) to learn and explore new ideas and problems in US healthcare and (3) consulting and advising with companies.

Lindsay Hyde reacted on thisThis is a bittersweet post to write. Moira has been with Kudos since the very beginning - she even named the company 🙌 When I was just getting Kudos off the ground, I was looking for marketing help. A mutual friend introduced me to Moira (thanks Cathy!) and we met at Tatte Bakery in Beacon Hill. I didn’t even really know what I was looking for. I just knew I needed help. A few days later she sent me a full deck outlining how she would position and launch the brand. To say I was impressed would be an understatement and I hired her as our Head of Marketing right away. On her very first day, she walked in and said we should name the company Kudos. It clicked right away! We wanted this to be about celebration - celebrating all milestones (big and small!) in both the baby’s and parents’ journey. I had been spinning my brain for months trying to figure out the name, and she solved it on day one. Moira grew Kudos from zero to an eight-figure business as a one-person marketing team literally doing everything. Now, after six incredible years, Moira is leaving her full-time role at Kudos to start her own fractional CMO practice, and I couldn’t be more excited for her. (Of course, we signed on immediately as her first client!) Moira is hands-down one of the nicest and hardest-working people I’ve ever met. I feel incredibly lucky that I got to spend six years working side-by-side with her building this company. Kudos simply wouldn’t be where it is today without her. It also feels fitting that on her very first day at Kudos she found out she was pregnant with her first baby and now she’s starting her own business just as her youngest is potty training. Full circle. If you’re looking for marketing help, I can’t recommend Moira enough. She’s one of those rare people who can operate at the highest strategic level but also roll up her sleeves and get deep into the weeds to make things happen. If you’d like an intro, let me know - you’d be lucky to work with her!Lindsay Hyde reacted on thisAfter 6 years leading marketing at Kudos, I’m excited to share that I’m starting a new chapter: Go to market with Moira, helping scaling brands cut through the noise to get their go-to-market right. I’ll never forget finding out I was pregnant (after years of trying) on my very first day at Kudos. I took it as a sign, and it turned out to be one of the most meaningful journeys of my career. Since then, I’ve had two babies (our original Kudos testers and baby models 😊), and in many ways, building Kudos has felt like raising a third. Just like parenthood, the past six years at Kudos have been a true labor of love — full of late nights, steep learning curves, big milestones, and never knowing what new challenges and adventures each stage was about to usher in. From zero to a double deal on Shark Tank to a nationwide Target rollout to now an eight figure business, it’s been the ride of a lifetime. I’m incredibly grateful to have worked alongside Amrita Saigal and our amazing team (Ilan Tagger, Isabelle Keba, Franco Andrade, April Robles, James Keighley) to help build something truly cleaner for the diaper space. I’m so proud of what Kudos is today, and even more excited for what’s ahead. Now, I’m taking everything I’ve learned - from my journeys at Kudos, Uber Eats, Valore and more — and offering fractional marketing leadership for companies ready to take their marketing efforts to the next level. I’ll also continue working with Kudos in a new capacity (now as a client!), which makes this transition even more meaningful. If you’re a founder or a team getting ready to level up your go-to-market, I’d love to connect! 👉 www.moirafinicane.com

Lindsay Hyde reacted on thisLindsay Hyde reacted on thisFourteen years ago tristan walker approached me with an idea for an organization that would burrow into the heart of the tech industry and create new pathways for black and brown talent to build the future. We launched Code2040 in February 2012. This month, March 2026, the organization is officially winding down. 🪦 It's the end of an era -- a 14 year era -- and I feel a mix of emotions including some negative ones: sadness, frustration, resentment, even a little tinge of shame. But I also feel so many positive ones: gratitude, awe, warmth, pride, peace. - I am beyond grateful 🙏🏾 for every Fellow, partner, funder, mentor, volunteer, teammate who took a chance on Code2040 -- especially in those early days when we were all vision and no track record. There's 10,000 people out there who leaned into the mission and the community. - I am in awe 🥹 of the Fellows who went from outsiders to insiders in tech, who reached out a hand to pull someone along with them, and who kept -- keep -- the spirit of Code2040 alive beyond any formal programming or affiliation. - I feel the warmth 🤗 of the folks who have reached out to me, to the team, who have posted on social media to say WOW -- look what you all accomplished, and look where I am because of it. - I am proud. ✨ I remember those early days when Code2040 was just an idea, and I remember all those tiny steps that compounded to turn it into an organization and then a movement. I know the creativity, tenacity, humility, and big big pushes out of my comfort zone that journey required. - I am at peace. 🕊️ I don't believe that nonprofits have to last forever to be impactful or worthy of appreciation. I don't think what worked in one era will necessarily work in another. I knew when I stepped down as CEO in 2018 that the future of Code2040 was out of my hands. I watched the headwinds get stronger and stronger for this type of work. And I am grateful for Mimi Fox Melton's thoughtful stewardship of Code2040 to a graceful end. Thank you to those who have shared reflections and reaffirmed how much great work happened over the course of those 14 years! I've been looking back at old photos and -- man -- we were all younger back then, no? Onwards. 🤎 🖤
