Summary

Catalysr is a startup incubator that supports migrant and refugee entrepreneurs in Australia by providing them with programs to help them turn their ideas into successful businesses. The company was designed for those who have fresh ideas and are ready to take on a big challenge, and since its inception in 2015, it has supported over 520 entrepreneurs, 175+ businesses, and a community of over 1200 professionals, advisors, and investors. Catalysr offers two programs: the pre-accelerator program, which is an educational program for early-stage founders, and the accelerate program, which is designed for startups that have launched and are looking to scale. The company aims to help migrants build businesses in Australia by providing them with access to resources, networking opportunities, and mentorship. Despite the challenges faced by migrant entrepreneurs, such as lack of connections and knowledge about the local culture, Catalysr's programs aim to inspire and empower them to solve problems and create successful startups.
