Rigorous Venture Vetting

Tailored Guidance for Success

Why does Venture Catalysts Exist?

75% of Funded Ventures Fail When They Should Thrive.

Funds ≠ Success

Good Ideas ≠ Success

Good Idea + Excellent Execution
= Success

Successful ideas are just a multiplier of Execution.

What's that?

Many venture founders cannot access expert board support.

Expert support is costly and can kill a venture’s growth.

Even with funding, many founders don’t know who to bring in.

What if they could have funded support from experts who match their strategic aims?
