The Catalyst Accelerator
The Catalyst Accelerator is a semi-residential, three-month program for small businesses that provides business development training, connections with users and DoD liaisons, and fosters mentorship with industry and DoD subject matter experts.
The Catalyst Accelerator does not assume an equity stake in the participating companies, and instead relies upon sponsorship funds to support the companies’ travel costs and to enhance the Accelerator program.
The program culminates in a Demonstration Day where cohort companies pitch their technology to Government, Industry, Academia, and Investor stakeholders during the last week of the Accelerator.
