Hey, I'm Cate 👋

My goal is to give amazing founders a fighting chance to build and scale successfully in their market.

That's why I founded Market Chemistry, where my team and I connect innovative startups to their best-match investors.

I'm deep in the startup community and have worked with companies across industries - healthcare, SaaS, CPG, renewable energy, apps, biotech, aerospace, data & software, and more. 

I represent myself through four core values: take extreme ownership, growth is compounding, think independently, and care relentlessly.
