Building startups and professional projects
Vantage Catalyst
Student Startups
Vantage Catalyst provides students with the unique opportunity to transform their dream businesses into reality. Tailored to the student demographic, we offer both initial funding and strategic consulting services, allowing proper guidance to build, grow, and maintain your startup. Because Vantage Youth Group functions as a not-for-profit, we try to provide our services for as little as possible. Therefore, we offer 100% free strategic consulting and guidance. We also partner, fund, and help develop any underprivileged student's startup without any compensation to Vantage. We earn revenue to sustain our not-for-profit operations when we work on projects for professional businesses or when we partner with student businesses.
