Catalist combines an internal database of 18M+ companies with the ability to extend searches beyond it. You can incorporate companies from any external source, such as directories, online lists, or proprietary research, and manage everything within a single system. This enables a more complete and tailored target universe, rather than relying solely on a fixed database.




Each company search is defined by its own investment criteria. In addition to standard data points such as financials, ownership, size and contact details, Catalist allows you to capture any data, whether quantitative or qualitative. This makes it possible to evaluate companies with flexibility for any search.

Organizing companies (e.g. by business model or technology) makes it easier to assess company fit rapidly. Catalist applies any structure you define across any list of companies, ranks them, and helps you quickly narrow down the most relevant targets. Our AI features automate this setup and application, making screening faster.
Catalist connects with several tools across the search workflow. Contact data can be sourced via Apollo, financial data via Creditsafe, and AI functionality is supported by providers such as OpenAI, Perplexity, and Claude. Catalist also integrates with multiple CRMs such as Affinity, HubSpot, and Pipedrive.
Catalist centralizes all company searches, evaluations, and decisions amongst your team. This makes it clear what has already been reviewed and prevents you from re-screening the same companies. As a result, time is spent on progressing the search rather than repeating work, as the search scales.
