"Catalyst's successful track record set the firm apart from the rest when we were fundraising and has continued to pay dividends. Few investors understand how to scale local SaaS businesses as well as the Catalyst team."
-Chris Webb, Co-Founder & CEO, ChowNow
"The Catalyst team has been a true partner to us at Presence. Their strategic guidance and hands-on approach have directly contributed to our financial success and market leadership."
