Catalyst’s Mia Hegazy among NVCA’s Rising Stars

We are proud to report that Catalyst’s Mia Hegazy is one of three nominees for the NVCA’s 2019 Rising Star Award.

Mia joined Catalyst as an analyst in 2013 and was recently promoted to Principal. Over the past five years, Mia has been a vital asset not only to the Catalyst investment team, but also to our portfolio company management teams. She is a valuable board member and possesses the rare ability to find and create value in high growth companies. She is responsible for deal origination, diligence, execution and portfolio management, and focuses on formulating new investment theses and conducting company outreach.

The NVCA featured Mia in November as part of its series, Spotlight on Rising Stars in VC.

The winner of the Rising Star award will be announced at the 2019 NVCA Leadership Gala on February 27, 2019 at the Four Seasons in San Francisco.
