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.
