π Launching Catalyst Research Partners: Bridging Science and Capital After months of research, iteration, and collaboration, I am excited to officially share the launch of Catalyst Research Partners, a company I am co-founding alongside Raphael Genova and Sandra Linares. Catalyst is pioneering a new financial framework to fund early-stage scientific research. From cancer therapies to clean energy to materials discovery, breakthrough innovations often stall due to a lack of long-term, risk-tolerant capital. Our solution is the Research-Backed Obligation (RBO): a structured financial instrument that securitizes portfolios of early-stage research projects. By pooling projects across fields and research phases, and applying the principles of securitization and tranching, we aim to offer institutional investors diversified, risk-adjusted exposure to scientific progress, while providing researchers with access to committed capital from the outset. We have just launched our website and LinkedIn page: π https://lnkd.in/eVtWdQD4 π Catalyst Research Partners on LinkedIn If this mission resonates with you, I invite you to follow us on LinkedIn to stay connected as we build. Whether you are an investor, scientist, or strategic partner, we would be glad to engage. More to come soon. #DeepTech #Finance #Innovation #Securitization #VentureScience #ScientificResearch #ImpactInvesting #CatalystResearchPartners
