Katalyst was born the day our CEO stood in a Best Buy shopping isle, listening to people complain about their routers. They weren’t asking for much—just something fast, reliable, and easy to set up. Instead, they were stuck with overcomplicated hardware that needed an engineering degree to understand.

After about the tenth conversation that ended with eyes that screamed “I hate my life,” it was clear: small and medium businesses deserved better. So, we got to work. With years of telecom experience (and a lot of coffee), we sketched out what a business hardware should be—simple, powerful, and BS-free.

7.06 days later, Katalyst was born: bringing you a lineup of hardware that works as hard as your business does. Built to keep you connected, productive, and headache-free, without the overhyped features you’ll never use.

And yeah, we still swing by Best Buy sometimes—just to remind ourselves why we started.
