Founder War Room Sessions

When founders hit walls, the War Room can break them down. In around 60–90 minutes, 4–5 handpicked members dive into one person’s toughest challenge. One takes the hot seat, the others bring battle-tested perspectives. Fast. Candid. No fluff.

Acquisition of Monny

Olivier was in a complex spot; post acquisition, challenges with the acquirer, and a potential raise not going through months after selling his business. He was able to get on top and now runs Monny, backed by investors from the company that acquired him.

Infinite games

Internal founder challenge

We got together several people from Catalyst to discuss a complex situation between founders of a prominent crypto project. Due to the sensitive nature of this session, we cannot share more details.

Navigating cap table discussions

Negotiations surround a cap table can be notoriously complex. It's often an equation that involves vision, personal incentives, to those of investors, state of the business, market dynamics and much more. We supported the founder of a deep tech startup with a time sensitive challenge.
