Hello!

I'm Kate, an entrepreneur, adventurer & engineer. I'm passionate about product-led growth & startups transforming consumer spaces.

Get in touch kathleenzchen@gmail.com

Background

I'm currently a Founding Growth Engineer and #2 at Mintlify, a startup powering effortless developer-first documentation backed by Bain Capital. Previously, I was the first growth hire at Magical, where I helped the company grow to 600,000 users, improved activation funnels and doubled referral rates.

Though I'm an engineer by trade, I'm passionate about bottoms-up and consumer companies with interesting growth playbooks. I derive meaning from meeting cool people, pursuing non-tech passion projects, and seeing the world. I thrive wearing many hats, & always looking to get in on something crazy.

When I'm not in front of a computer screen, I'm probably flying my drone around, trying a new recipe, or crossing off another item on my bucket list.

Currently:
🔥 Hosting grill & chills and speakeasy nights
🚀 Living bicoastal between NYC and SF
🍹 Learning how to create dope cocktails

Finding your path can be scary. Roads Less Taken is an initiative to explore all the jobs you dreamed about as a kid, but for some reason or another never pursued.

Views from above bring a new perspective to a world I've never seen before. In this archive of drone videos and photography, I'm sharing the world through eyes in the sky.
