Catalyst develops and funds fast growth technology companies. Our approach depends upon the stage of the company and the type of proposition:
Early stage (i.e. pre-profitable part proven business concept with a core management team). We use our accelerator programme to develop these businesses. This involves, introducing trophy customers, identifying investor directors, accessing our private investor base of over 400 individuals and early stage institutional funding.
Expansion stage funding (i.e. profitable, proven concept) This involves preparing the business for investment, developing funding documentation, developing a shortlist of funders, creating a competitive process, negotiating and managing the deal to completion.
Management Buy Outs/Buy Ins.
We work with management teams to help them finance and negotiate the acquisition of companies. This involves negotiating with vendors, raising the equity and debt finance, managing the deal through to completion.
