Why we built Catalist?

Catalist is a deal sourcing platform designed for investment professionals seeking target lists, data & insights to make the best investment decisions.

Founded by Koen van Engelen and Alexander van Os, who met at their first job in investing at AlpInvest, Catalist benefits from their combined 18 years of experience in VC and PE investments. We understand firsthand how crucial proactive deal sourcing is for investment and acquisition success. However, keeping track of all companies and developments in your areas of interest is both challenging and time-consuming.

The rapid pace of technological change and AI is transforming the industry, creating a divide between investors who have integrated technology to optimize deal sourcing and those who have not.

While investors aim to adopt a data-driven and tech-based deal sourcing approach, we see that few have implemented it due to time constraints, complexity, and the high costs of building in-house tools.

That's why we created Catalist. Catalist eliminates these barriers, offering a systematic approach to building your pipeline, gathering critical data, tracking companies, and assessing them with AI to identify the best opportunities.

Catalist automates tedious tasks, optimizes your deal sourcing process, and helps you generate the insights needed for faster and better decision-making.
