The impact we've had
so far
Ronak Mehta
Co-Founder of Coordinal. Ex-ML Engineer and MATS Scholar
Learning what it takes to build a new organization alongside like-minded founders dedicated to AI safety was so valuable, in a way that typical startup incubators couldn't provide. I cannot imagine a scenario where Coordinal would exist without Catalyze.
Jonathan Happel
Founder of TamperSec and AI Standards Lab
The Catalyze team is well-connected and can make introductions that are otherwise hard to get. ”
About our impact
During our first program, we launched 11 new organizations. Participants reported an average acceleration of 11 months, and 2 participants said they would never have started an organization without participating in Catalyze. Most founders say they would not have started these organizations if they had not participated in Catalyze's incubation program.
The majority of these organizations have now raised 5 or 6 figure funding from funders such as Open Philanthropy, the Survival and Flourishing Fund, the AI Safety Tactical Opportunities Fund, and individual angel investors

Catalyze gave me the structure, information, and connections I needed to make Luthien a reality. Within three months of the end of the program I had over a year of runway and was well on my way to deploying an MVP. ”

Catalyze Impact was immensely helpful in quickly immersing myself in the top needs within the AI Safety space and building a solid and friendly network. ”
