Katelin Holloway is a former Pixar and Reddit people executive who became a venture investor at Seven Seven Six specifically to bring HR expertise to early-stage investing, co-founding the firm around the belief that if VCs truly think team matters most, there would be more partners with HR backgrounds. She built 776's proprietary assessment system called Cerebro where the entire team scores founders on both product and personal traits like coachability and integrity, then re-evaluates the same founders six months later to turn investment instinct into a measurable skill across the firm.

• High conviction in the emerging space economy, specifically regarding infrastructure that powers computing and energy rather than just exploration. She frequently highlights portfolio companies like Starcloud for successfully training AI models in orbit and Interlune for responsible lunar resource development.
• Appreciation for hard tech and engineering that solves physical constraints, often praising teams that tackle unglamorous, difficult problems over those with glossy pitch decks. A prime example is her support for the partnership between Boom Supersonic and CrusoeAI, which addresses energy bottlenecks while advancing supersonic flight.
• Leveraging a background in human resources to analyze workforce trends and productivity. She shares insights on the psychology of work, such as using data from Laurel to expose how much time employees spend on invisible or unbilled tasks, and making predictions about the quiet retirement of elder millennials in tech.
• Valuing brand identity and storytelling as much as technical features. She pointed to the team at Intro as a masterclass in how founders can turn culture and point of view into a durable brand that wins over simple feature sets.
• Support for modernizing sports and entertainment through community-driven models. She actively promotes the Los Angeles Golf Club (LAGC) for trying to make golf more connected and fun, and acknowledges the rising value of women's sports as a major industry shift.
