Startup Catalyst Mastermind
A founder mastermind for the serious ones — the ones building real companies, solving real problems, and ready to do the work.
The Startup Journey
Starting a business is hard. Founders have great ideas but often struggle to execute them. Building an MVP, raising funding, assembling a team, and getting to market can feel like navigating a maze without a map. Many fail not because the idea isn't good — but because they lack the right guidance, tools, and people around them.
How It Works
Bring your hardest problem. Leave with a plan. Each session is a structured peer-review where founders share what is blocking them and get direct, actionable feedback from the group.
Fundraising, team building, product development, sales — practical skills taught in the context of real startups, not textbook scenarios.
72% of founders admit to mental health struggles. We take this seriously. One dedicated session per month on the psychological side of building — burnout, doubt, identity, and resilience.
Why Startup Catalyst
Led by Edison Ade — a founder with 15+ years across Africa, the US, and UK, who has built, failed, rebuilt, and scaled.
No keynote-style inspiration. Every session has a clear output. You leave with frameworks, decisions, and next steps.
Every member is vetted. You are in a room with people who are serious, moving fast, and willing to help each other win.
Past members have shipped MVPs, raised pre-seed rounds, and grown revenue — within the programme window.
