Catalyst Program

“Strategic, mission-driven investment that accelerates the development of breakthrough C&AS technology.”

Why the catalyst program was created

TechCatalyst wants to accelerate development of C&AS technology. Thus, ACS created the CATALYST Program to make much-needed capital available to Finder & Advisor clients who lack funds to acquire and lessen development risk associated with C&AS technology.
