Venture Catalyst

Innovate. Accelerate. Empower.

Venture Catalysts are not venture capitalists — we’re builders, not brokers. Our mission is to catalyze success without seeking control or leveraged equity positions. Instead, we accelerate growth through strategic partnerships, business architecture, and intelligent capital alignment.

With more than 35 years of cross-industry experience, MJ Lasky bridges the gap between form, function, and finance. By focusing on innovation over ownership, we bring capital and creative structure to media, technology, and in FinTech ventures—especially those serving the underbanked and underserved.

We don’t just fund ideas.
We ignite them.
