About CatalyticWe're dreamers, but we're also doers.

Founded in 2015, Catalytic is a team assembled by accomplished technologists. We're working to simplify and humanize the world of business software, and love challenging "the way it's always been done." Our first product, Pushbot, aims to dramatically improve the way people get work done together.
