Transforming challenges into opportunities

We combine our expertise and investments with those of our partners to help companies and co-investors transform special situation challenges into long-term value.

What we do
Katalysen

For the last eight years, we have been helping entrepreneurs and investors navigate unique challenges and opportunities.

As an investment catalyst, we co-invest with entrepreneurs, experts, and other investors to achieve specific goals. This may involve navigating a merger, an exit, a management buyout, a turnaround, or any other situation where an interesting deal meets an interesting company. Katalysen is defined by its collaborative approach, bespoke investment structures that align interests, and this focus on special situations requiring transformation.

“Even the most robust economies have a surplus of ideas that never reach consumers. If we want to reverse these trends and maximize innovation output, we need more hands-on investors and mechanisms for funding the commercialization of smart ideas.”
