Kathryn O'Day

Hello, I'm Kathryn O'Day. I believe

we can build 10 female-founded

unicorns in the next 10 years

in the Southeast!

based in

Atlanta, GA

I am passionate
about helping
entrepreneurs!

I am a partner at Atlanta Ventures, mom of 2 boys, spouse of 9 years, and a washed up endurance athlete ;)

I scaled multiple Atlanta tech companies, as a customer success leader and COO, with exits to large public tech companies.

I’ve been a team of 1, led a team of 50, built a department from scratch, seen customer growth from 80 to 2000, managed a F500 acquisition, and hired and trained 100s of people.

I also did 7 Ironmans with multiple World Championships along the way.

I love startups and my passion is helping entrepreneurs, especially women.

Company

creation

Entrepreneurship is one of the most powerful forces for good in the world. It creates something from nothing that lifts up people, solves problems, and furthers economic well-being.

Culture

in mind

Company values matter. They attract talent, they help you go faster, and they foster a place that inspires pride and well-being. Treating people well pays for itself 10x over.

Operations

and efficiency

Organization and productivity is never one size fits all. The right system varies based on your personality, job, company culture, tech stack, daily workflow, and more.
