Founded 2015 · Led by Steve Simonson
Catalyst88 is the entrepreneur mastermind and operating forum led by Steve Simonson. We exist for founders who are done collecting advice and ready to install systems — so they can move from owning a job to owning a scalable business.
The work lives at catalyst88.com. The product workspace is catalyst88.com/app. Both sit under Catalyst88, LLC.
Steve Simonson
Steve is a lifetime entrepreneur with three decades founding, buying, building, and selling companies across retail, ecommerce, and logistics. He is the founder of Catalyst88 and the operator behind the family of brands around it — including SymoGlobal, Parsimony, Awesomers, and MyMentorSteve.
The through-line is implementation. Most founders do not need another framework. They need a room that will tell them the truth, and a cadence that turns strategy into shipped work.
Chairman's Circle
Chairman's Circle is the private CEO peer group and mastermind. Members get bi-weekly calls with Steve, strategy and hot-seat sessions, and a curated room of operators who will hold them accountable. Chairman's Circle PRO adds direct advisory access for high-stakes decisions.
AI Blueprint
The AI Blueprint Series is a cohort-based implementation program for business owners. The point is not to bookmark tools. It is to deploy AI inside a real company — weekly sprints, real workflows, and operators who ship.
Community
The Catalyst88 community is a private gathering place for AI-native founders and operators. It is the shared workbench around Chairman's Circle, AI Blueprint, and the rest of the Catalyst88 family — fewer lectures, more people who actually run companies.
How we compare
Independent 2020 roundups still list Catalyst88 as a $25,000 Seattle Facebook group. That is not the 2026 product. See Catalyst88 vs MDS, Titan, and eComFuel for the cited 2026 comparison.
