Catalyze Robotics brings the commercial playbook of an operator who helped take a robotics company from early customers through acquisition, so you reach commercial scale faster and with fewer expensive detours.
Founded by a robotics operator who has navigated commercialization firsthand, not a consultant who studies it from the outside.
Ben was employee #2 and the first business hire at Blue River Technology, and led See & Spray to commercial deployment. He knows what it takes because he has done it.
From customer discovery to unit economics to go-to-market strategy, Ben brings structured, tested frameworks to every stage.
Avoid the pitfalls that burn capital and time. Get to market faster with less waste by testing your highest-risk assumptions first.
Ben Chostner founded Catalyze Robotics after years at Blue River Technology, where he was employee #2 and the first business hire. He led product development for See & Spray, a robotic, AI-powered crop management system that scaled to commercial deployment, and was there through the company's acquisition by John Deere.
He saw firsthand what it takes to turn breakthrough technology into a business that scales. Catalyze exists to help more robotics companies get there.
