Material Ventures by Katie Palencsar
FROM ALL SIDES
I founded Material Ventures with a rare perspective: I've been a founder, venture capital investor, buyer, and seller - of both products and companies. I've sold software, services, ideas, financial products, and businesses. I've raised capital as a founder, investor, and board member, and I've launched companies, products, funds, and venture studios. This 360-degree experience offers a unique ability to see around corners and uncover opportunities others might overlook.

“Katie is a visionary, no-nonsense leader who sees what's coming before most of us”
"From the moment I was introduced to Katie, I knew I wanted to work with her. Specifically, her passion and future forward focus on using technology and data was right up my alley. It has been a privilege to work with her as she managed the extremes that a disruptive, women-led startup can bring. Katie is a visionary, no-nonsense leader who sees what’s coming before most of us and we are better off for it."
