Catalysr

Australia

11 weeks ago, our (think) enough journey took a bit of a business development turn thanks to the support of @catalysr a pre-accelerator program for migrants which we would also like to highlight as one of those good businesses we love and talk about. By enabling migrants to start their own business, create jobs for themselves and others, Catalysr tackles some of the common issues faced by those who settle in a new country and supports people to be in control of their own destiny.

"Our approach is to provide an alternate pathway to people and unleash their untapped potential to help change the landscape not just for them but also their communities. We aim to provide the right conditions to accelerate that chain reaction in their life" says Usman, CEO and founder of Catalysr, who went through those migration challenges firsthand when he himself moved to Australia in 2013 (If you want to read more about Catalysr's story, check them out on Medium).

Through weekly community sessions, including masterclasses, conversations and team catch-ups with our wonderful mentor @jeanette_kc (think) enough has made some great progress over the last few months and we have exciting news to share! So, if along with following our storytelling journey through all of these great for-purpose businesses you'd like to learn a little more about our journey as a team, the next steps and maybe give us a little cheer - we'll be pitching (think) enough on Wednesday the 18th at 5pm AEDT - see link in @catalysr bio.

Oh wait - there's more! To give you a feel of all the inspiration we have gotten through Catalysr, we thought we'd use the run-up to pitch night to show you some of the great people and for-purpose businesses we have met along the way... follow along over the next few days to meet them.
