Your Venture Partner

Katalysen & Partners was founded in 2015 by life-long entrepreneur and venture builder Peter Almberg. Today, Katalysen consists of 12 venture builders operating out of two offices (Stockholm and Geneva). As of March 2021, Katalysen has invested expertise and financial capital in 25+ ventures.

We know that many ventures with great ideas never succeed. We also know that many failed ventures could have achieved success with the proper support. Katalysen is that support.

What sets us apart from traditional investors is our combined contribution of hands-on expertise to create and execute growth plans, and financial capital to fuel those growth plans. We call investing expertise “venture building” and investing cash “early-stage investing”. Combined, Katalysen becomes a Venture Partner to our client ventures.

Together with our global network of investors, entrepreneurs, and industry executives, we help ventures of varying stages (from birth to IPO) overcome the many challenges faced on the road to profitability. As your venture partner, we help maximize the chances of success for both your venture and your shareholders. Together we make it happen!

We are a Network Company

The strength of Katalysen’s model lies in the combination of being a Venture Partner while also orchestrating an invaluable network: Katalysen’s VenturePort. This network encapsulates the demand, capital, ideas, entrepreneurial energy, experience, and vast know-how of a global tribe of venture builders such as entrepreneurs and investors.

It is this network combined with Katalysen’s own expertise that forms our tried-and-trusted backbone for assisting clients. Crucial is our ability to mine this network for very specific solutions that our clients may need at very specific points in time. These solutions may come in the form of a lead on an early cornerstone customer, the introduction of a technology partner which has the missing piece of your product-puzzle, the addition of specific expertise via a new board member, or the finding of new potential shareholders with vast relevant value beyond the addition of funds.

We Make It Happen

This unique combination of partnership and network resources empowers our clients to focus solely on execution. This in turn leads to a greater chance of client success, which reduces risk for clients and investors alike, and helps to bridge the gap between groups of traditionally more risk averse investors and our clients. Alignment of interests with client companies and their shareholders further reduces the risk for conflicts of interest, and increases the likelihood of successful funding.

Our commitment to young ventures is strong, we adhere to the partnership principle, and Katalysen lives by the motto “Together we make it happen”. The dedication with which we approach this motto is nothing less than what should be expected from a real partner.
