Katya’s Venture Capital Qualifications

Experience level: Senior Associate

Hello and welcome to my profile! I'm a Stanford MBA graduate and currently work as a venture capitalist. My journey into VC was anything but typical—in fact, the closest preparation I had was my experience at McKinsey in the U.S. I'm passionate about helping aspiring MBA students navigate the admissions process and map out a strong career trajectory even before starting their program. As someone who had never been to the U.S. before pursuing my MBA, I particularly enjoy supporting international students and explorers of paths like management consulting, and venture capital. Spoiler alert: If you’re aiming for venture capital, it’s definitely one of the tougher roads—but with the right strategy and preparation, it’s entirely achievable. Let’s work together to unlock your potential and set you on the path to success!
