Catalyst raised a $30M seed led by Sequoia, with Jump Trading, Peak XV, Lux Capital, AntiFund, Selini Capital, SF1, Coinbase and Premji Invest.

Users describe a trade idea in plain English, like a bet on a super El Niño forecast. Catalyst researches it, builds a visual workflow, watches prices, news and social signals, and places the trades across spot tokens, perps, tokenized stocks and prediction markets. The company was founded in 2025 by Justin Zheng, formerly at Worldcoin, and Dylan Iskandar.

Its pilot with power traders did hundreds of millions in volume in a couple of weeks, per Fortune. Catalyst is now letting users in from its waitlist.
