Criteria & Proceeds Use

CATALYST Investment

Ideally, successful CATALYST investment candidates are private and may have revenue, experienced management, and product development plans to enhance scalable, reproducible prototypes or existing products intended for market and sale within US markets.

CATALYST provides funding exclusively to Finder & Advisor Service (FAS) clients. Also, a successful candidate typically has more than:

• 5 employees
• 2 years of solid operating history, and
• $2 million (US) of book value (5-2-2 Guideline)

Proceeds Use

CATALYST investment is intended to facilitate acquisition and/or development of chemical and allied products and technologies.

Direct costs and employee-related indirect costs for chemical and allied product and technology acquisition and/or development are generally allowable (e.g., expenses associated with technology licensing, equipment, materials, supplies, and wages of personnel working directly on milestone-driven, product development related projects).

Costs ordinarily associated with sales, general and administrative activities ("SG&A") are not allowable (e.g., expenses associated with marketing, travel & entertainment, taxes, and public relations).

No Assurance of Success

While TechCatalyst® makes every effort to ascertain the nature and quality of the opportunity offered by its FAS clients, we cannot offer assurances or guarantees of success in securing a CATALYST investment - not unlike any other source of private equity.
