As we invest, invent, build and scale startups, it's an incredibly exciting space and no day is the same. I've always talked about wanting to be in a place where I am able to combine my creativity and analysis and focusing on the growth portion of startups I build is amazing. Hope you like this 'day in the life'.
Thanks for this insight. Great job in a much greater city such as NY. Can you give us an honest information on working hours? Is VC like Investmentbanking where you have almost no leisure time?
Hey Kat! I just discovered your channel, and I'm so glad I did! I am 24 and currently a final year Msc of Business Administration student. I'm having an interview with Accenture in 3 weeks, and I'm doing some forecasting of how my future life as a consultant will be like (I'm also very interested in VC for later down my career). Hearing about your morning routine from listening to a podcast, to some bible study, jazz and bossa nova + reading your newsletters is such a beautiful reflection of how I imagine things for myself. I love the balance you've created between work and life. I'm looking forward to seeing more of you! Love and admiration.
What VC growth newsletters do you get? I loved hearing you talk about what exactly you do, are there any resources you recommend for someone to learn more about growth stage VC?
Andrew Chen, Benedict Evans, and CB insights, just to name a few! I'm not in growth stage VC but these VC newsletters focus on early stage + how to scale startups.
I did a triple concentration in Finance, Marketing & Information Systems at McGill University. As for steps, check out my Forbes article 'Trailblazers: Kat Garcia". I describe in my 'trail', the different life steps I took!
Hi Kat! Could you do a video on how you manage your life in a profession where there is a lot of travel? I’m trying to figure out rhythms like what to stock in my fridge and staying up to date on mail and personal emails when I’m away from home! Something about being away from my home makes all those responsibilities disappear in my mind but when I come back home I get overwhelmed with all I need to do! I’m glad I came across your channel!
Hi..this was very interesting as I've had my head in the gutter..I really want to work along the lines of product development and providing companies with business strategies and honestly imt stuck on what I should do...please help

@@KatGarciaonline awesime thanks i just subscribed to the CB Insights newsletter!
Think corporate VC better than working at a VC firm? Or what would be pros and cons?
Can you share what major you have and what steps you took to build up to working in venture capital?

Would you recommend a college sophomore to have experience in consulting (BCG) then go into venture capital (BCG DV). Thank you
Thanks for sharing your day in the life! What Growth focused newsletters do you recommend?
