Venture Development Applied

We help ventures become better versions of themselves. This not only unlocks value for the venture and its founders, but also for its clients and shareholders (including Katalysen Ventures).

Together with the venture, we identify the venture's current challenges and future potential, and form an actionable roadmap for closing the gap between the two.

Our multidisciplinary team then works hands-on, together with the venture, to execute on these roadmaps. On any given day of the week our team is investing not only specific key area expertise, but also general experience picked up on our own journeys as entrepreneurs. The following are but three examples of how a partnership between Katalysen Ventures and a client venture may look.
