Material Ventures by Katie Palencsar
Ideas -> Realities
I founded Material Ventures because I thrive on turning business ideas into realities. Whether it's launching businesses, unlocking the next level of growth in existing companies, or investing in future-forward ventures, I am passionate about creating lasting impact across industries. New York is my playground for innovation, where I’m constantly inspired by the fast pace, creativity, and endless possibility.

“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."
