Following your curiousity, and changing careers with Cat Lee, VC at Maveron

Ways We Work

This week my guest is Cat Lee. Cat is a venture capitalist at Maveron, a company that funds seed and early-stage consumer companies. Before moving into the VC space, Cat was the head of Culture at Pinterest and before that held roles at both Pinterest and Facebook in Growth, Partner Marketing, Product Marketing and Program Management. Her resume is nothing short of impressive and inspiring. We talked about why she decided to make the move into venture capital, and how she's managed to explore so many different crafts throughout the course of her career. We also talk about the lessons she learned in her time in tech that she hopes to pass on to the founders she works with, her approach to what she calls work-life integration, her personal values, her passion for culture and a lot more. Cat's confidence, curiousity and ability to throw herself into whatever it is she's excited about is infectious and I think you'll finish this episode with an itch to finally dive into that thing you've been wanting to do.
