About

Sarah Catanzaro is a former intelligence researcher who modeled insurgent and pirate behavior using incomplete data, experience she now applies to predicting startup success and venture investing patterns. She exclusively backs practitioner-turned-founders who have built internal tools multiple times before spinning them out commercially, focusing on second-generation ML infrastructure that addresses real production challenges rather than just prototyping needs.
