WHAT WE DO
JOBS-TO-BE-DONE
Think of us like a high-end concierge — but for business. Just as you'd call a concierge anytime you need something handled, we move the same way. Whether it's a niche need or an everyday operational function, we assess what's required and activate top-tier talent and resources. From specialized expertise to core business support, we provide high-caliber execution—without the committment of full-time hires — so you get exactly what you need, when you need it.
And need more than just talent placement? We're business operators ourselves, we don't just match talent — that means we can step in to manage and drive execution, ensuring work moves forward seamlessly, not just handed off.
off-market on-demand talent
Businesses need agility. The talent market is shifting. High headcount isn't the measure of success anymore — lean, execution focused teams are the future. The best talent isn't job hunting — they're choosing the right projects.
We connect top operators and specialists with high-caliber opportunities—without the admin burden, so they can focus on what they do best. More talent is moving away from full-time roles, seeking flexibility and impact, without sacrificing quality. Others remain in full-time positions but have valuable expertise they're eager to apply beyond their day jobs.

WHY I STARTED MATERIAL VENTURES
Companies need more than just advice - they need actionable solutions. Day after day, I'd get calls and e-mails from founders saying, "Katie, I need someone who..." The requests spanned everything from operational help to specialized industry expertise. Material Ventures was born to meet those needs.
