Catalyst Fund is an accelerator for inclusive fintech startups. We work with innovators in emerging markets who are building affordable, accessible and appropriate solutions for underserved communities, and accelerate the local innovation ecosystems around them.
Catalyst Fund is a proven model. Our portfolio companies grow with us to become highly investable businesses and demonstrate significant scale. Catalyst Fund companies have secured over US$77 million follow-on funding, and reached over 2 million low-income consumers and small businesses across emerging markets.
