Catalyst Ventures

Catalyst Ventures was founded in 2010 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to manage a transfer of technology project for a Middle East-based private equity concern. Since then, we have undertaken a variety of engagements requiring domain-specific technical, commercial and management expertise. We have been primarily involved in investment program manag... ement, acquisition support, industrialization planning and specialist due diligence efforts. Ventures we have been involved in have been defined by their high technological content and challenging execution. Our strength lies in our experience managing this type of early-phase, complex venture, as well as our technology domain knowledge and expertise. Catalyst Ventures is an enabler; driving the success of our client's ventures. Our approach is execution driven rather than limited to an advisory role, and we are accountable for delivering the expected results. Our business philosophy is rooted in risk sharing; generally we are partners in the projects we manage for our clients, assuming full operational responsibility for specific functions, sharing risks and reward for joint efforts. Principles we abide by and encourage in our work include: disciplined program management; a structured and multidisciplinary approach to risk-management; open and transparent communication; the fair treatment of sellers and employees post-transaction; and the development of solid, long-term partnerships.Read More
