As a Partner at TheGP, Taylor teaches founders how to tell a story.
Taylor is a seasoned storyteller who has spent her career in the crosshairs of media and tech. As a Partner at TheGP, Taylor oversees all of the firm’s editorial and comms efforts and supports portfolio companies with strategic storytelling work.
Previous experience
Taylor started her career covering New York City’s tech scene as a beat reporter before moving out to San Francisco as an early employee at The Information. While working in The Information's newsroom, she developed its first social strategy, launched a novel subscription program that’s still in play today and led business bootcamps for thousands of media professionals. Since then, she’s reported for publications including MIT Tech Review, Every, STAT News, and Vox, covering a mix of tech and healthcare.
Taylor then joined Product Hunt (under AngelList) to lead its editorial operation, which spanned multiple newsletters, a podcast, social media, and several hit packages per year for an audience of millions. While there, she launched and grew Product Hunt’s first media outlet, Maker Stories.
In 2020, Taylor joined Human Ventures as an Entrepreneur-in-Residence to incubate healthcare ideas. Through that experience, she founded a media publication that produced service journalism on health & wellness trends during the pandemic. After testing the waters as a founder, she went freelance as an editorial and comms leader, consulting with a roster of startups (including TheGP!) on their storytelling, comms, and brand strategies.
Highlights
Taylor is allergic to platitudes and marketing speak. She likes to work with founders to uncover what (actually) makes them different.
Taylor has helped hone TheGP’s story since its earliest days, but she’s never done running "creative" experiments for the firm.
