CatalystEvery scroll adds a
new connection.
Start with your seat. Zoom out and you see why the cost of not joining compounds every month you wait.
Your Seat at the Workshop
You walk in cold. By hour four, you've pitched your business model to an angel investor and stress-tested unit economics on a whiteboard with a founder who just closed their Series A.
Mentors Orbiting the Room
Not keynote speakers. Operators who are currently in the work — a CTO who shipped to 10M users last quarter, a founder who failed twice and sold on the third attempt for $80M.
The Alumni Network Spanning Cities
Every Catalyst graduate is a node. When you need an intro to a Series B investor in Austin, a manufacturing contact in Shenzhen, or a growth hire who won't break your culture — someone in the network has the connection.
Investor Partners in the Orbit
Fourteen VC firms have standing relationships with Catalyst. They attend demo days, mentor sessions, and have invested in 47 companies directly from cohort presentations — not warm intros, direct dealflow.
Three formats. One standard.
No certificates. Every format ends with something you can use tomorrow.
The Pressure Test
Friday evening to Sunday afternoon. You walk in with a deck. You walk out with a deck that has survived six rounds of live pitching, whiteboard unit economics, and a room full of people paid to find the holes.
- Investor-ready pitch deck, tested live
- Unit economics stress-tested on whiteboard
- Three warm intros to relevant investors
- Cohort Slack for 12 months post-event

Founders who met here.
Outcomes that compound.
These aren't testimonials. They're conversations between founders who sat at the same table and are still building together.
"Marcus — remember when you tore apart my pricing model on day two? I rebuilt it the way you suggested. Closed our seed round last week. $2.1M."
"That whiteboard session changed how I think about pricing forever. We shipped our new packaging last month — 40% higher ACV. Catalyst paid for itself 200× over."
"Nia — just used the cultural interview framework from week 5. Hired 12 people in the last 6 weeks. Zero regrets. The structured reference call script alone saved me from two terrible hires."
"I used the internal venture pitch template to get $3M of internal funding approved. My CFO said it was the clearest business case she'd seen from the innovation team. Ever."
"Three months after Catalyst I had a $5M budget, a team of 8, and a sponsor at C-suite level. The "corporate antibody map" exercise in week 3 was the thing that changed everything."
