About Katelyn Donnelly
Katelyn Donnelly founded and led a $65M global impact-oriented edtech venture fund investing in affordable private schools across emerging markets, and now runs Avalanche VC as a solo GP by design, citing speed and clarity of decision-making as key advantages. She positions herself as a "techno-humanist" investor who writes extensively about massive transformations in how people learn, earn, and own, frequently discussing the future of work as "freelance, flexible, and fractional" through her newsletter "Obviously The Future" and other content platforms.
