Hi! My name is Cate Diaz.

I help startups raise capital, tell their story, and build investor trust.

As the Founder of Market Chemistry, I lead a team that builds high-conviction investor pipelines for early and growth-stage companies.

We combine sharp positioning, compelling investor materials, and direct outreach to connect founders with the right capital partners — and get the deal done.

I’ve worked across industries including healthcare, SaaS, CPG, biotech, renewable energy, aerospace, and more. At the core of every project is a founder building a category-defining company and a need for a smarter, more intentional fundraising strategy.

My approach is grounded in four values: Extreme ownership. Compounding growth. Independent thinking. Relentless care.
