Catalyst for hubs & accelerators

Don’t find out at demo day

Opti7 Catalyst gives your programme team a live read on how every founder is executing. Spot who has stalled in week three — while there’s still programme left to spend on them.

A connected community of founders and mentors.

The gap

Twelve weeks of programme.
One day of evidence.

See how Catalyst works

Office hours give you the story founders want to tell. Catalyst gives you the record.

What Catalyst does

Stronger cohorts without a bigger team

Catalyst reads the daily record across every founder, so your team spends its hours where the work is stuck.

See the whole cohort

One live view of every founder’s week. No chasing updates.

Catch stalls early

Spot who has gone quiet in week three, not week eleven.

Put mentors where it counts

Match mentor hours to the real blocker, not the loudest founder.

Prove programme impact

Show funders and partners the behaviour that changed, cohort by cohort.

  • 7 Optimal Habits
  • Voice check-ins
  • Daily Data Drop
  • Behavioural record
  • Programme dashboard

What is in Catalyst

One platform for the whole programme

Stay close to every founder

See the whole cohort in one live view. Know who is moving and who has gone quiet before the next check-in.

More founders, less admin

Check-ins, mentor notes and follow-ups in one place, so the programme can grow without growing the team.

Know where to step in

Our behavioural intelligence engine turns daily entries into cohort patterns, showing which founders and which habits need attention first.

Reach the right founders

Message one founder, a track or the whole cohort. No Slack threads lost by Friday.

Check in by voice

Founders talk through their day in three minutes, by voice or text. Every entry builds a record your team can act on.

Bring your own curriculum

Use the Opti7 Framework, seven habits from 36 years of founder coaching. Or plug in the curriculum you already teach.

Pilot Catalyst with your next cohort

One cohort, the full platform, and a programme report at the end.

Questions about Catalyst

Your programme.
Visible every week.

Catalyst gives your programme team an honest read on how every founder executes, across every cohort you run.

How long does a pilot run?

A pilot is designed around one cohort, with the platform and a programme report at the end. Talk to the team to agree timing around your programme.

How is the behavioural data collected?

Founders check in for three minutes a day, by voice or text. Those entries build a behavioural record your programme team can use alongside mentoring conversations.

What do founders see, and what do we see?

Founders get a view of their own execution; your team gets cohort-level context. We’ll explain the views and sharing arrangements as part of your pilot setup.

Can we run Catalyst on our own curriculum?

Yes. Catalyst supports the Opti7 Framework and your own curriculum. We can explore how your mentoring model and milestones fit during onboarding.

Does it work across multiple cohorts and sites?

Tell us about your cohorts, locations and programme structure. We’ll walk through the setup and access options that fit your team.

Run your next cohort on Catalyst

Catalyst accelerates the founders you already back. Pilot it with one cohort and walk into demo day already knowing the story.

Pilots open for hubs, incubators and accelerators.
