Kate shares her journey of building OneGuide, a platform that provides leverage to PE and VC firms. 

She initially started with a marketplace model, but realized that startups were not willing to pay for access to experts. 

She then pivoted to selling to PE and VC firms, offering them a centralized platform for resources and an extended network of experts. Kate discusses the challenges of selling to firms, the importance of testing, and the evolution of OneGuide's features. 

She emphasizes the need for patience and the willingness to iterate and adapt along the way.
