Material Ventures by Katie Palencsar
work is evolving.
so are we.
I founded Material Ventures to solve a problem I saw over and over again: businesses don't just need advice — they need execution. I've been a founder, VC investor and operator, and at every stage, one thing was clear: the best people aren't always looking for full-time roles, and companies can't afford to wait. Material Ventures is a Jobs-to-Be-Done Concierge & Talent Agency — matching urgent needs with the right people and solutions to get it done.
