Lyn Alden is an investor, best-selling author, and worldwide speaker with a focus on the intersection of money and technology.
In 2016 she founded the research firm Lyn Alden Investment Strategy, which provides investment research for retail and institutional investors. It started as a side hobby to express her lifelong interest in investing, but soon became so large that she left her engineering work to focus on it full time.
In 2022 she joined venture firm Ego Death Capital, where she serves as a general partner. She’s an active advisor, and/or board member in a variety of technology startups.
In 2023 she authored the best-selling book Broken Money about the past, present, and future of money through the lens of technology. From shells to gold, from ancient bills of exchange to central banks, and from the invention of the telegraph to the creation of Bitcoin, she examines how the introductions of new technology have shaped what we use as money over the ages.
