Qatalyst Ventures

Ideas are everywhere.
Qatalysts are rare.

We back the people, businesses, and ideas capable of turning possibility into meaningful change.

See who we back

What we look for

A narrow lane,
on purpose.

We're not generalists. We back founders solving real problems in three areas we're passionate about. That said, our doors are open to leaders based anywhere in the world.

01

Health

Patient care that reaches more people, costs less, and works better.

02

Climate

Energy and waste technology that make the sustainable option the obvious one.

03

Impact

Enterprises where the social return compounds with the financial one, not instead of it.

Two portfolio companies named to TIME's Best Inventions — 2024 and 2025.
