"It’s fantastic to raise money from mission-aligned donors who care deeply about climate solutions and are willing to support an investment in our company and vision. Partnering with CataCap has opened doors to philanthropic capital that allows us to scale our impact and bring climate action to millions of gamers worldwide."

"I grew up in an area impacted by coal mining. The loss of water and land usage came with those industries. My community wanted to see about the next iteration of energy, knowing first hand that the existing forms were extractive and inequitable. We wanted to change the course with an indigenous philosophy. CataCap helps us to do just that."

"Given that women spend 25 years of their lives trying not to get pregnant and then suffer the consequences of peri/menopause after that, Pandia Health provides essential services for women. We are so grateful that Catacap allows us to raise funds to provide services for women from age 12 until their last breath."
Sophia Yen
Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer
Pandia Health
"There is so much I love about Pandia Health, starting with inspiring and passionate CEO and Founder Sophia. Her motivation and never-ending dedication to drive real change and solutions for women through all the stages of life is amazing. I love seeing these types of CEOs and these types of solutions addressing a huge market need and opportunity."

"CataCap has been a true partner from day one, helping Amoofy navigate catalytic capital and find the right investors as we build the first voice infrastructure for the 80,000 foundations, universities, and enterprises making high-stakes decisions without ever truly hearing the people they serve."
Luis Duarte
CEO
Amoofy
"As a founder raising capital for a mission-driven brand, finding the right partners matters as much as finding the right dollars. CataCap understood that immediately. It's model is genuinely unlike anything else in the funding landscape — they've built a way for philanthropic capital to show up for businesses doing meaningful work. The process was straightforward, the team was communicative and conllaborative, and they understood how we operate as a scaling brand. For JustUs Skincare, a women-founded brand built for a population that's been overlooked by both the beauty industry and traditional investors, that alignment is everything. CataCap connects capital to purpose. We'd encourage any founder building something that matters to explore what has been created here."

"CataCap has made it easy for Bairitone to connect with mission-aligned investors who care about expanding access to better sleep health. We’re especially grateful for the Empower Her group and the support we’ve felt through the platform as we work to advance more equitable, evidence-based care."

Bairitone Health
"I believe that impact oriented ventures often face a funding gap at the point when they are making progress but are not yet at a phase to raise larger amounts of venture capital. This "gap" is a great time for philanthropic capital to step in to provide both financial and relationship capital to derisk ventures and help move them into a phase when they can scale their impact."

"Patient, mission-aligned capital helps EnerWealth bridge the timing gap between upfront project costs and later financing and tax-credit proceeds, allowing us to keep residential solar and battery projects moving."
Emily Sloss
Company/Fund Executive
EnerWealth
"This funding allows us to meet the needs of many rural, mostly native, communities in Alaska. Many federal and state energy grants are reimbursable: communities must pay costs upfront before receiving repayment. Many rural Alaska communities can't front that cash, so funded, shovel-ready projects stall. This patient capital allows Alaska Venture Fund to offer a simple cash advance to cover upfront, eligible costs. When the community is reimbursed from an existing grant, typically by programs such as the State of Alaska and the U.S. Department of Energy, they submit the payment back to Alaska Venture Fund with zero interest, so the money continues to revolve."

"At our stage, the hardest thing to protect is the mission itself. We're building fortified everyday foods for base-of-pyramid consumers through informal retail — thin margins, real impact, but it takes time to prove. Patient, mission-aligned capital lets us build that proof without being pushed toward higher-income channels or premature returns that would pull us away from the families who actually need the nutrition. It de-risks the commercial capital that follows, and it means our investors are rooting for the same outcome we are."

"At this stage, UnaliWear has moved beyond proving that the Kanega Watch solves a real and important problem—we have a differentiated, award-winning product, strong customer retention, and a growing direct-to-consumer business. What we need now is the ability to scale thoughtfully. Patient, mission-aligned capital from CataCap has allowed us to invest in building UnaliWear into a nationally recognized consumer brand without sacrificing the long-term mission for short-term financial milestones. That alignment is especially valuable in aging technology, where trust, product quality, customer support, and measurable impact matter as much as rapid growth. CataCap’s capital has added to our runway to scale customer acquisition, expand awareness and distribution, and reach far more older adults—while staying focused on the reason we founded UnaliWear in the first place: extending independence with dignity."
