The Investment Process

The process consists of straightforward stages:

  1. The CATALYST investment process begins with expression of interest by TechCatalyst® and a request for information from a Finder and Advisory Service (FAS) client ("Screening").
  2. Depending upon responses, TechCatalyst may wish to acquire more detailed information by issuing a formal due diligence request ("Due Diligence"). 
  3. Due diligence responses are reviewed by the CATALYST Investment Team ("CIT") during a pre-investment meeting. A decision may be rendered to invite the FAS client to present to the CIT at ACS headquarters in Washington, DC ("CIT Pre-Investment Meeting").  
  4. Should an invitation be given, the FAS client would be asked to respond to specific CIT questions relative to the investment opportunity prior to and during its presentation ("Presentation Meeting").
  5. Following the Presentation Meeting, a CIT investment decision is made within 7-10 days ("Decision"). 
  6. The FAS client is notified of the CIT’s investment decision shortly thereafter ("Notification"). 

TechCatalyst’s objective is to complete the CATALYST investment process within 60 - 90 days subsequent to a FAS client’s due diligence responses. That time frame, however, may be altered depending upon scheduling, response times, and unforeseen circumstances beyond anyone’s control.
