Investing in Applied AI to make everyday moments better.
We are Katalyst Ventures
We are a multi-stage investment firm that collaborates with Applied AI founders in Autonomous Logistics, Digital Health, and Enterprise SaaS.
We invest in large markets where analog behaviors become predictive algorithms — driving borderless business models that scale.
The AI wave is not unlike the internet, cloud, or mobile waves — the infrastructure creates the foundation, and the applications create the value.
