“Cathy is an exceptional investor due to her experience as a company builder and is a genuine and passionate champion who deeply understands my business and vision. I previously worked side-by-side with Cathy on the same team at Gusto during the hypergrowth phase. I am excited to partner with her again as a vital investor at CaptivateIQ where my co-founders and I value her strategic and tactical insights and hands-on approach.”
