Hello & Welcome
Whether actively looking to sell a portion or all of your company, make an acquisition, or access private growth capital, we'd be delighted to connect.
ALLOW US TO INTRODUCE OURSELVES +
WHO: Steve Jobs, Apple CEO and co-founder, emphasized the importance of building a tight team of exceptionally talented people: "I found that there were these incredibly great people at doing certain things, and you couldn't replace one of these people with 50 average people. They could just do stuff that no number of average people could do... small and medium-sized teams of these people could accomplish extraordinary things and run circles around large teams of normal people." This philosophy embodies Katalyst Point. Our transaction team, comprising best-in-class external M&A partners and our senior bankers, represents the highest standard of expertise.
WHAT: The Exit Planning Institute reports that 83% of privately held businesses on the market don't sell, and if they do, millions are often left on the table—leaving startup founders and business owners frustrated and legacy plans shattered. The main culprits are lack of preparedness, a scarcity mindset, failure to invest in the right M&A advisory team, and misalignment between the seller's perspective and what buyers value in the company. We collaborate with savvy clients who understand that the strategic value perceived by the buyer is what truly matters, not just comparisons to other companies or a multiple of X. When we mutually agree to leverage our sell-side expertise, we ensure our clients are set up for success.
WHEN: Over nearly three decades serving Fortune 500 and best-in-class private equity firms, we gained extensive experience working for major investment banking firms on Wall Street, including SunTrust Bank, Merrill Lynch Capital, Siemens Financial, and Bank of America Merrill Lynch. In 2024, we launched Katalyst Point to provide a more personalized and value-focused approach. Entrepreneurs value trust, expertise, and tailored solutions when hiring an expert to sell their companies, acquire other companies, or raise capital. We deliver on these expectations by offering deep industry knowledge, a commitment to understanding each client's unique goals, and a proven track record of maximizing value and facilitating smooth transactions. Now it's our turn to serve, lead, and make a difference.
WHERE: Katalyst Point is a remote headquartered company dedicated to meaningful work. Although we may not be in your city, we are always available and represent entrepreneurs across North America.
WHY: At Katalyst Point, we keep it real. The process to sell a business, acquire another business, or raise capital without expert guidance can be an emotionally daunting experience; even the great Seth Godin took a year off after selling his first company, Yoyodyne, to Yahoo! We understand that entrepreneurs, who work tirelessly on their businesses, often only know a minuscule fraction of what it takes to successfully sell a business, acquire and integrate a business, or raise capital from outside investors.
