Ep. 44: Working with Family Offices: Corporate Climber to Capital Matchmaker with Kat Aguilar Smith

In this episode of From Corporate to Cashflow, we sit down with Kat Aguilar Smith, a capital matchmaker who works closely with family offices representing ultra–high net worth families with $100M–$200M+ in assets. Kat grew up in an immigrant entrepreneurial family and started working at just 15 years old. Determined to build her own path, she initially set her sights on climbing the corporate ladder before ultimately transitioning into the entrepreneurial world. Today, Kat operates in rooms where deals average around $25 million, helping connect investors, operators, and opportunities. She shares how capital actually moves at the highest levels, what family offices look for when deploying money, and why relationships matter more than almost anything else in large-scale deals. Outside of the investing world, Kat is also a professional Latin dancer and conference host. She blends her passions for business and movement through events like her dance conference and the Find Your Rhythm investing conference (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/4th-annual-find-your-rhythm-investor-summit-tickets-1975726476075) helping entrepreneurs align their financial goals with a life they truly enjoy. If you’ve ever wondered how big money thinks, moves, and invests, this conversation offers a rare behind-the-scenes look.  Connect with Kat:  ⁨@KatAguilarSmith⁩  https://www.instagram.com/kataguilarsmith  Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theandreacannon  Subscribe to my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TheAndreaCannon
