Get involved
Clients submit projects. Students submit résumés and availability.
Catalyst matches prospective clients who need scoped work with Belhaven students who need paid, portfolio-ready experience. Clients: tell us the problem and the skills you need. Students: send your résumé and weekly availability. We review both and introduce a fit.

The Venture Engine film is for clients and students. It shows the 4A flywheel, 7P pipeline, living-wage work, and how surplus funds scholarships.
What you get
Two intakes. One matching team. Start with the form that matches who you are.
Prospective clients
You get a faculty-supervised student team, defined deliverables, and living-wage project capacity without a full-time hire.
- Outcomes, timeline, and success metrics you define
- Healthcare AI, data, product, and venture sandbox options
- NDA, IP, and compliance intake before sensitive work
Belhaven students
You get matched to real sponsor work at a $20/hour living wage, with Creation-level deliverables for your résumé and interviews.
- Paid project hours during the semester
- Track A research or Track B venture experience
- Matches based on skills and the hours you can actually work
Matching workflow
Submit once. We review, check track fit, and introduce promising pairs—typically within a few business days.
-
Clients — submit a project
Describe the problem, outcomes, timeline, constraints, and the skills you need. That lets us align the right student team or course-based effort.
-
Students — submit résumé & availability
Share your profile, skills, a link to your résumé, weekly hours, and when you can start. We shortlist you when a project fits both your strengths and your calendar.
-
Catalyst — review & introduction
We triage submissions, check fit with Track A (research pilots) or Track B (venture sandboxes), and reach out when we have a match.
