Learn more about what defines your future colleagues

This is our team

We work hard, have each other’s backs, and support each other to grow and excel personally and professionally. We asked our colleagues to describe themselves, and four characteristics came up time and time again. We are dynamic, coming from a wide range of rich and diverse academic and professional backgrounds, together we always keep a positive attitude and are full of energy and ideas for the work that we do.

Our team have another thing in common, we are ambitious! Our ambition is directed towards our unified purpose: to remove the barriers to funding for life science, healthcare, and agri-, food and bioeconomy innovations. In addition, we support each other in our personal ambitions for growth. Also, we are young-at-heart: together, we nurture vitality through our shared enthusiasm and excitement for the meaningful impact we make for our clients. What else? We are innovative: thinkers and problem solvers, who thrive in working on cutting edge projects.

Does this sound like you? Then we would love for you to join the team at Catalyze.
