# Catalyst Network

### What is the Catalyst Network? <a href="#what-is-the-catalyst-network" id="what-is-the-catalyst-network"></a>

The Catalyst Network formerly known as Coordinator is a collective of projects from all rounds of funding.

Catalyst provides an innovative environment where the community can explore the highest potential of human collaboration, and the Catalyst Network is one of those spaces that allow funded projects to network, collaborate, explore topics, and even gain new insights and perspectives from leaders within and outside the Cardano community.

### Why is the Catalyst Network Important? <a href="#why-is-the-catalyst-network-important" id="why-is-the-catalyst-network-important"></a>

The most essential part of Catalyst is the human element, meaning all projects funded within the ecosystem have the unique opportunity to leverage the Open Office Hours with the Project Catalyst Team.

### Why Make Use of Open Office Hours

At the heart of Catalyst is the human connection. Sharing experiences, challenges, and lessons learned. Catalyst Open Office Hours is a bi-weekly opportunity for funded projects to engage directly with the Catalyst team. This new format addresses timing challenges and enhances accessibility for teams across all time zones.

Through a simple [Calendly link](http://bit.ly/catalyst-office-hours), project teams can now book sessions at times that work best for them, enabling more focused, intentional conversations tailored to their unique needs.

Open Office Hours give projects a space to:

* Ask questions and get clarity from the Catalyst team
* Dive deeper into project-specific topics
* Receive targeted support on growth, technical blockers, or strategic alignment
* Build stronger ties across the ecosystem through shared learning

### How It Works

* Who can join? Any project funded through Project Catalyst, across any fund
* When? Bi-weekly, second and last Fridays of each month
* How? Simply book a slot via the provided Calendly link [here](http://bit.ly/catalyst-office-hours)

Each session is designed to be productive, personal, and purpose-driven. Giving projects the space and support they need to grow and thrive.
