ep 129: Build. Bet. Figure It Out. ft. Kate Broduck
In this week’s episode of Cultivate with Alex Canavan, Alex canavan sits down with Kate Brodock — General Partner at The W Fund, CEO of SWITCH, and the CEO & General Partner of 9Fresh, where she's leading the full redevelopment of the former Cazenovia College campus. (Not exactly the career arc anyone maps out on paper.)
Kate has spent nearly two decades inside the startup ecosystem — investing in early-stage, women-led companies, building platforms for women founders and investors, and operating at the intersection of venture, leadership, and community. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, Washington Post, BBC, and CNBC. And now she's doing something entirely different — and entirely bold.
This conversation is about what it means to step into an opportunity you didn't see coming. To make high-stakes decisions without a roadmap. And to keep showing up with clarity and conviction when the path forward isn't obvious.
If you're someone who's figuring it out as you go — and doing it anyway — this episode was made for you.
