About Us
INNOVATION, together with entrepreneurs and venture capitalists as business builders, create the perfect job creation engine.
Throughout history, America has been the innovative leader in building branded global enterprises. However the current U.S. recession and results of globalization have interfered with this natural innovation cycle, resulting in dramatically fewer jobs.
The Venture Capital community has been responsible for the creation of 12.1 million jobs! We believe that this number could have been significantly increased by making job creation
part of the decision making process.
Catalyst Capital Management, LLC was formed as a public/private partnership with the U.S. Government to exclusively manage a family of dedicated regional funds for the purpose of creating tens of thousands of sustainable jobs for each region, based upon local needs. The strategy is to invest in a wide variety of innovative business sectors; including industrial, clean-tech, medical, life sciences and advanced electronics. We believe that our approach is the most viable strategy to create innovative jobs in America. Small business, properly financed, is the answer to the job creation challenge.
