Catalyst by Beemok returns for its second year after a successful debut in 2025. The live pitch competition features early-stage companies from Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties. Finalists from a range of industries take the stage to share what they’re building and compete for a share of up to $2 million in potential investment.

The day also includes a conversation with investors, a student pitch competition, lunch and time to meet the founders, investors and business leaders in the room. Whether you’re starting a business, backing one or simply want to see what’s next for Charleston’s business community, there’s a seat for you.

Tickets are $25 and include lunch. All ticket proceeds support Meeting Street Schools.
