CATALYST GRANT PROGRAM
Yaju Catalyst Grants back ambitious people who have the capability to build something real. If you have the drive and the skill to build agent software that matters, we provide the resources to get it done.

FOCUS:
Productivity and efficiency for companies and corporations

Finance runs on work that is repetitive, rule-bound and expensive to get wrong. We back projects building agents for reconciliation, reporting and review, where every action has to be attributable and every cost accounted for.
Software teams were the first to put agents to work and the first to hit the limits. We support projects building the tooling around them: review, testing, deployment and the plumbing that keeps agents useful past the demo.
Health organisations carry the strictest requirements for privacy, auditability and control. We fund work on agents that can operate inside those constraints rather than around them.
Operations is where agents either save real time or quietly create more work. We back projects that automate the day-to-day running of an organisation and can prove what they saved.
Innovative software projects built around AI agents: creating them, putting them to work, governing them, and making them cheaper or more reliable. Work that ends in something other people can actually use carries the most weight.
We look at the people behind the project. We want ambition, the capability to actually build the thing, and a genuine interest in agent infrastructure. A clear idea and the ability to ship it matter more to us than a long track record.
No. What you build is yours and you publish it as you see fit. We only ask that you tell us what you did with the grant, because we like to give that work visibility. If you come across a security issue along the way, write to contact@capconsultor.eu straight away.
Write to contact@capconsultor.eu, tell us what you need and why you need it, and we will look at it.
Usage is visible from your Yaju workspace and attributed per agent, so you can see where the resources are going while the project is still running rather than afterwards.
Yes. A grant belongs to the project rather than to one person, so you can add the people working with you from your workspace settings.
