FAQs

Find answers to common questions about our software and how it supports SBDC operations.

Is Catalyzer easy for a business owner to navigate?

Our platform is built to give your business owners and clients the optimal experience. Without requiring account set up or login, you can collect demographic and business information securely, manage registration for services and programs, and sell tickets for events.

‍

How does Catalyzer integrate with my current system and reporting to my funder(s)?

We know that your processes and reporting tools are important for your overall organizational success. Think of our platform as an entry point where business owners can connect with your webinars, services, and partners. Once they are ready for your direct support, they will transfer to your internal systems for direct technical assistance and tracking.

‍

How customizable is Catalyzer for my organization’s needs?

Startup Space is as customizable as you need it to be, but even the most basic Startup Space subscription comes with the ability to fully white label and customize your hub. If you have something specific in mind, let’s talk about it.

Do Catalyzer reports comply with federal reporting requirements?

We thought you’d never ask. Yes, we can deliver customized reports that fully comply with federal or state program guidelines, such as SSBCI and Build 2 Scale.

Will Catalyzer connect to other systems my organization uses?

Absolutely. We can accommodate most requests for system integration, and have done so with many of our customers. What systems do you specifically have in mind? Let’s chat about it!

Is Catalyzer a resource mapping tool?

While our resource compass tool can serve as an ecosystem resource map, that’s only the beginning of what Startup Space can do. Resource directories are great, but what happens after an entrepreneur connects to a resource? If you want a system that delivers a complete pipeline of support, Startup Space is for you.
