Threshold Ventures Fellowship Teaching Assistant, Management Science and Engineering - Technology Ventures ProgramBioHelen Phillips joins the Master’s in International Policy (MIP) program after working for six years at the intersection of dual-use startups, venture capital, and the federal government.

Helen supported the deal process end-to-end, from sourcing defense tech startups to developing business cases and facilitating value creation for portfolio companies.

Helen has deep familiarity and experience with policies and organizations that help startups work with the federal government (e.g., SBIR/STTR, SBA’s SBIC program, dual-use/defense-oriented VCs and CVCs, etc.). At Stanford, Helen is continuing her work and research in defense tech, policy, and venture capital through the International Security concentration in the MIP program.
