Our Story
Established in 2021 by a dynamic trio of visionaries – Ray Laracuenta, ex-Gartner Inc; Johann Hartmann, formerly of the Global Shapers Community (GSC); and Ben Everard, a seasoned full-stack developer.
Catalyze was born out of a shared passion for community empowerment and the creation of decentralized governance models.
At Catalyze, our mission is clear: to make the world smaller by connecting communities with fun-to-use tools and instant value transfer.
With a vision centered on making your world a better place, we are committed to providing a platform that enables anyone to effortlessly create and manage communities, schedule events, and facilitate value exchanges.
In September 2023, we proudly launched our CTZ token on the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP), marking a significant milestone in our journey towards decentralized community building.
In Q3 2024 we roll out a 3 part comprehensive reward program that will ensure platform and user growth over the next 18 months.
As part of our dedication to positive social impact, in the coming year will look to partner with organizations that provide education for the next generations. Together, we will strive to create meaningful change and uplift communities around the globe.
Looking towards the future, we are excited to embark on a new chapter of growth and innovation. Our vision includes onboarding the internet's next generation of Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) and establishing Catalyze as the premier destination for Web3 learning and community engagement.
