Shaping the Future of Tech: Equity, Capital, and Bold Moves with Kate Brodock Ep. 27
Description
In this inspiring and energizing episode of the Wealthing Podcast, host Alicia Castillo Holley sits down with Kate Brodock—CEO of SWITCH and General Partner at The W Fund—for a candid conversation on reshaping the future of tech through gender equity, venture capital, and decisive leadership.
Kate shares her two-decade journey in the startup world, from leading a global 60+ chapter organization focused on women in tech, to building SWITCH into a powerful global ecosystem advancing representation in innovation. As a seasoned operator and investor, she opens up about the urgent need to rethink how capital is allocated, why representation matters at the investor level, and how women and underrepresented founders are already building the future—we just need to pay attention.
The conversation covers practical strategies for founders, the challenges of rewriting systems from the inside, and what it takes to make real, lasting change in venture capital and beyond. Kate and Alicia dive into her work with The W Fund, the importance of networks like Techstars, and how her lived experiences on a hops farm in Upstate New York influence her leadership style and personal resilience.
