Who are we
A community of builders shaping the future through acceleration, intention, and deep connection.
Taking inspiration from the Network State and modern communities, Catalyst is organizing a 'startup community': a small starting community focused on aligned values between its members.
We're hosting several retreats/events a year to tie together small groups of founders, operators, builders and scientists that take decisive action, educate themselves deeply, and want to grow global consciousness and prosperity.
Our main hub is Amsterdam. We aim to grow gradually over the next 5-10 years, to transition into owning physical property.
Values
Built with Intention, Run with Focus
A focused, intentional community built by and for founders, operators, and builders.
No WhatsApp groups, forums or similar. Online communication for updates only. And for the rest we just bring good founders & operators together.
We’re not trying to become a huge community. There’s no profit motive — only member progress, which happens best with focus, especially for founders and operators.
We’re intentional about who we invite and how we host — because we care deeply about supporting the founder, operator, and builder journey.
We love hosting together! If you have cool ideas that you'd like support on, we are happy to do logistics and co-organize something cool!
Catalyst's goal is to contribute to human acceleration. We're flexibly organized but strongly aligned and filtered. We bring together serious change makers, thinkers and builders to connect, grow and create. The aim is to contribute to each other's lives, but also gradually to humanity as a whole, in small and big - but always tangible - ways.
We believe in acceleration as a driving force for long term human flourishing, and see that aligning humans is the best precursor to achieving that. The best creations come from play and dedication.
Over the next 10 years, we will grow Catalyst into a “startup village” — a (possibly distributed) online and physical space where you feel at home and highly supported/stimulated.
A collective of individuals that prioritizes human flourishing, experimentation, deep reflection, decisive action, and self-development.
A group of people that challenges you to think and dream big, because you know the community has your back.
We want you to meet the people you start your next venture with, but also those you might ask to watch your dog (or even children).
Providing an enduring sense of friendship, community, and home — all across the world, without sacrificing individuality and autonomy.
