  • Hedy History

    Hedy Capital was inspired by Hedy Lamarr's Pioneering Work in Technology

    Hedy Lamarr was an Austrian-born Hollywood actress who made significant scientific contributions to the field of technology.

    Hedy Lamarr became an inspiration to many engineers and technologists working today. In addition to her acting career, Hedy's scientific contributions were groundbreaking in the field of technology. Early on, Hedy identified a problem with Allied radio communications being jammed by the Axis during World War II. To combat this problem, Hedy developed and patented the technology that would later become the basis for Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth.

    Hedy Lamarr's scientific contributions were instrumental in shaping the field of technology. Her inventiveness and problem-solving skills resulted in innovations that are still widely used today.

    Hedy Capital recognises and honours her legacy by supporting companies that prioritise innovation and technology, these companies have the potential to bring great advancements and solutions that can help change the world.
