We are global change-makers. We are on a mission to change the HR recruitment industry by helping build incredible teams with the People and Talent functions that drive ambitious businesses. Specifically, we focus on specialist hires within the People function, creating networks of niche HR talent for roles across the core areas of People and Talent, Reward and People Analytics, and HR Infrastructure. The old, traditional way of ‘doing human resources’ no longer works for today’s working and professional environments. The remit of HR and People teams has rapidly evolved. HR is now a central pillar, helping to define the strategy and culture of a business. In a fast-changing world, it needs to partner with individuals who grasp this and are evolving alongside this change. This is why we set up Catalyst. We are a team of innovators, deeply specialist in each of our HR-focused areas, and with years of industry experience for our clients and candidates to benefit from. There are two tenets we stand by: a service delivered at pace without compromise; setting the bar higher for doing the basics brilliantly. Things agencies should be doing, but don’t. We recruit for all levels within HR, with specialist knowledge placing senior and technical roles across Banking and Finance, Investor-backed businesses, Private Equity and Commerce industries. Each Catalyst expert is dedicated to transforming the HR recruitment experience, so no matter what the job requirements, we can build incredible teams.

About Us Foundry Group is a venture capital firm focused on making early-stage technology investments, participating in select growth rounds, and identifying and supporting the next generation of venture fund managers. Our passion is working alongside entrepreneurs to give birth to new technologies and to build those technologies into industry-leading companies. We also seek to leverage our experience and relationships as fund managers to help new and existing venture firms create industry leading investment businesses. We’re centrally located in Boulder, CO, but we invest in companies and funds across North America. What We Do We started Foundry Group in 2007 as true early-stage investors, making Seed and Series A investments to help promising entrepreneurs get their ideas off the ground. As our portfolio and network grew, so did the vision of Foundry Group. This led us to raise Foundry Group Select, a fund focused on growth stage investments in the existing Foundry Group portfolio. The success of both our early stage investment strategy combined with Foundry Group Select’s growth strategy, as well as personal investments we made in over fifty venture funds, led us to institutionalize this strategy and launch FG Next – a hybrid fund of funds and growth stage direct investment vehicle. Regardless of the size of our initial investment, the size and structure of our funds allow us to continue to support our portfolio companies through their entire financing lifecycles. Our fund investments give us insight and access to a large number of venture-backed companies at varying stages. In addition to providing the necessary venture capital, we are committed to leveraging our experience in starting and growing companies, our expertise in the technology industry, and our network of relationships to help outstanding entrepreneurs and venture fund managers turn great ideas into great companies.
