  Helena is a problem-solving institution that addresses urgent societal issues through for-profit, non-profit, and legislative action. Helena's first project, "Factory in the Sky,” supported the construction of the first commercial carbon capture factory by the Swiss company Climeworks, which is now operating in 15 countries globally. Its second project, "Shield", catalyzed state and federal action to help protect the North American electrical grid from threats due to solar storms and cyber-attack, including a 2019 Presidential Executive Order. Its third, 'America in One Room', organized one of the largest political experiments in U.S. history in an effort to improve the way citizens evaluate candidates for public office, featured on the front page of The New York Times, and was hailed by US President Barack Obama. Its fourth helped to deliver tens of millions of vital medical supplies to hospitals across the US during the opening weeks of the COVID crisis, and built the pre-eminent software platform (in use by the US Army and Air Force) for mapping medical need across the country during the pandemic. Helena operates its projects with a small group of leaders it calls "Helena Members". They include Nobel Laureates, Academy Award winners, Four-Star Generals, Olympic athletes, NGO leaders, technology entrepreneurs, explorers and more. Show less
