Katherine Manweiler

Katherine Manweiler is the co-founder and CEO of Montage, a company she established in October 2022. Montage is a platform designed to help users discover and purchase clothing and accessories seen on their favorite TV shows and movies. This innovative approach allows users to search for items by keywords, such as an actress's name, and find links to purchase those items directly from retailers, tapping into the consumer desire for aspirational fashion.12

Before founding Montage, Manweiler was an MBA candidate at Harvard Business School, where she has been developing her business since her first year. She previously worked as an Investment Associate at S2G Ventures and as a Strategy Consultant at Monitor Deloitte. Her educational background includes a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and she has also studied International Finance and Economic Development at Maastricht University.13

Manweiler's entrepreneurial efforts are particularly timely, as brands are facing challenges with traditional advertising methods on social media platforms. Montage aims to provide a cost-effective solution for brands to reach curated shoppers, particularly targeting demographics that may struggle with shopping alone, such as men aged 25 to 44.2
