Ahoy friend, I'm Will. I was born in Toronto, Canada and currently live in Nashville Tennessee USA.
My life is about helping people thrive and bringing dreams to life, so we can create the world we want to live in. Currently I embody this purpose through my company Fulcrum Venture Accelerator, through making music, and through our non-profit Dance Medicine USA which hosts conscious movement events in Nashville and beyond. Music is the universal language of healing and peace and I have always felt a deep connection to sound as the language of emotion.
I also enjoy writing and am passionate about continuous self development, new technology, and our collective cultural evolution.
In 2019 I founded Fulcrum Venture Accelerator, a fundraising accelerator for entrepreneurs. Since 2019 we have worked with over 100 impact companies to help them raise more than $50M in funding for projects in climate, environment, human health, education and culture.
In 2009, I co-founded (along with Kati Bicknell) Kindara, with the aim of empowering women and men around their bodies and their fertility. Kindara was one of the first VC funded femtech companies and has helped millions of women get pregnant, avoid pregnancy naturally or better understand their cycles. I ran Kindara as CEO between 2009 - 2016, raising money, managing our staff and executing on our vision. Kindara was acquired by Prima-Temp in 2018 and continues to fulfill her mission in the world. As part of Kindara we produced Wink, which I consider the most beautiful fertility charting system ever created.
In prior times, I co-founded Lumetro (an online distributor of energy efficient lighting) and served as director of sustainability at Watershed Technologies.
From 2001 - 2003 I designed, built, and tested the iSun solar car which we later raced from Chicago to Los Angeles in the 2003 American Solar Challenge. This was a deeply satisfying project: We created something out of nothing and along the way I learned the power of creativity, ingenuity, sticktoitiveness, and believing in something.
In terms of education I'm a life-long learner. Officially I am a graduate of HAXLR8R, Founder Institute, the Landmark Education Curriculum for Living, and McGill University, where I received academic honors in Mechanical Engineering and Economics. Unofficially I have many teachers including TED, Allison Armstrong, David Deida, David Cates, Kevin Kelly, Paul Graham, Dick Shwartz (founder of IFS), and Eddie Izzard among others.
I also love Burning Man, quantified self, self-development, dancing, and things that put a dent in the universe and move the human race forward. If any of this resonates with you, please reach out. I look forward to meeting you.
