Katapult is a family of organizations working at different ends of the same problem: making impact capital a mainstream force in how we build the future.
Katapult started in Oslo in 2015 as a single venture fund, founded by Tharald Nustad on a simple conviction: that the companies solving the world's hardest problems would also build the most valuable businesses of this century.
A decade on, that single fund has grown into a family of independent organizations, each tackling a different piece of what it takes to move impact capital from the margins to the mainstream. We invest at the intersection of technology and planetary resilience: ocean health, climate, food, and the systems that connect them.
Each entity operates independently, with its own team, thesis, and stakeholders. Together, they address a different part of what impact investing needs to scale: capital, infrastructure, tools, talent, and community.

VisitWe believe impact and returns are not trade-offs. They're the same question, asked well. The companies solving the hardest problems are the ones that will matter most, and the funds, tools, and communities that back them are what turn conviction into consequence.
