Molly Wood Biography

Molly Wood is an American journalist who transitioned into the role of a climate tech investor. She is the founder and CEO of Molly Wood Media, an angel investing and startup advisory firm where she focuses on tech solutions to the climate crisis. Prior to this, she held the position of managing director at LAUNCH, an early-stage venture capital firm.

Having studied journalism at the University of Montana, Wood began her career at the Associated Press before moving into technology journalism. She rose to prominence while working at CNET from 2000 to 2013, where she co-hosted the "Buzz Out Loud" podcast, among other shows. This was one of the first commercially successful podcasts, launched in 2005.

In 2014, Wood joined The New York Times as a deputy technology editor. Later, she became a tech correspondent and backup host for the US public radio program "Marketplace." In addition to her correspondent role, she co-hosted the "Make Me Smart" and "Marketplace Tech" podcasts and developed and launched other video series and original podcasts at CNET/CBS, the New York Times, and Marketplace.

Wood left Marketplace in 2021 to join Launch, a venture capital firm, as a podcaster and investor. She continued her journey in the venture capital sector until March 2023, when she founded Molly Wood Media.

Molly Wood Reviews

  • Our audience absolutely loved Molly Wood!
    Humana - Oct 20 2023

  • I have worked to book a lot of speakers in my 9 years at Notre Dame and this was by far the best experience I have had. The team was so nice to work with, professional, and prompt. Molly was also so kind and did such a good job (if she ever wants to teach online send her our way!) and both the students and staff really enjoyed her presentation. I can't say enough positive things about this experience!
