A review on the numbers, not an opinion: nobody here has joined CATALYST, and nothing below is a verdict.
CATALYST is a Skool group about buying, growing and scaling businesses, run by Jordan Thompson, who signs the group's description.[1] It was created in September 2025, and the owner profile describes an owner and buyer of businesses.[1] The description opens with a definition of a catalyst as a person or thing that speeds up or provokes change, and casts the group in that role for its members.[1] It brings together entrepreneurs and people hoping to become one, whether they want to acquire, grow or scale a business.[1] Members have the community and the resources inside it to draw on.[1] Thompson writes that entrepreneurship, and taking risks on a worthwhile endeavour, is how change comes about in a person's life and in the wider world.[1]
