Partnering with founders to build the next generation of AI-native enterprise software platforms

We partner with profitable software businesses to support long-term growth as AI reshapes the software landscape.

I’ve spent my career building software companies the same way founders do-with patience, discipline, and a long-term mindset. At CoCatalyst, I partner with founders of niche enterprise B2B software businesses to carry their companies forward with care. We think in years, not quarters, and our capital is permanent. My focus is disciplined execution, thoughtful AI-driven evolution across operations and products, and preserving the culture, teams, and customer relationships that made the business successful in the first place.
