About Earth Catalyst

Earth Catalyst is a consultancy founded by Marshall Kirkpatrick. I’ve been a New York Times syndicated startup journalist, a Mark Cuban backed founder with an exit, a B2B exec through IPO, and worked in global VC. I am fundamentally mission driven and have extensive experience in the nonprofit sector. (More here.)

 

At Earth Catalyst, our mission is to facilitate knowledge sharing across organizations, in order to accelerate the collective experience curve and grow your impact on the transformation of the global economy.


In addition to the consulting services described here, we produce a daily personalized newsletter of updates from green tech and sustainability organizations that we think will be most useful to your work.
