Building Tomorrow's Infrastructure Today

A legacy of trust, innovation, and global impact

Our Story

A Decade of Transforming Global Development

Founded in 2013, Catalyst Global Finance emerged from a vision to bridge the gap between ambitious projects and the capital they need to succeed. Our founders, seasoned professionals from leading global financial institutions, recognized that many transformative projects struggled to access appropriate financing.

Today, we stand as a premier institutional-grade financing platform, having facilitated over $2.5 billion in funding across 65+ countries. Our success is built on rigorous due diligence, deep sector expertise, and an unwavering commitment to our clients' success.

From renewable energy installations in Southeast Asia to infrastructure developments in Africa, from technology ventures in Europe to agricultural projects in Latin America, we've helped bring hundreds of impactful projects to life.
