Kathalyst (C3 Fall ‘24) is transforming the modernization of legacy software systems. Founded by Anushka Singh, Kathalyst is an AI-powered solution that simplifies the process of understanding and modernizing legacy COBOL systems. With over 220 billion lines of COBOL code still in use globally and 70% of global business transactions running on mainframe systems, companies face immense challenges in maintaining and modernizing these critical infrastructures. The shortage of COBOL developers further exacerbates the issue, leaving organizations needing help to migrate mainframe processes to the cloud. Kathalyst empowers teams with the tools and insights to navigate and transform these complex systems efficiently. Whether you’re addressing mainframe-to-cloud migrations or ensuring project success with effective documentation, Kathalyst is here to help! If you work with legacy systems, COBOL projects, or modernization efforts, reach out to connect with us and their team!

Thank you Keith Cline and VentureFizz, Silicon Valley Bank , Polsinelli , mabl , and Scratch Marketing + Media, for a fantastic "AI Wave" event and for having Patricia Geli moderate the "AI Founder" panel. Fantastic panel and insights from serial entrepreneurs and Massachusetts founders: Scott Weller at EnFi, Jonathan Corbin at Maven AGI, Lior Div at 7AI, and Izzy Azeri at mabl One (paraphrased) takeaway in the world of product/market fit and AI: If you’re building a good product, you’ll know. People will use it because they need to use it and it will become part of their everyday work. Founders should focus on where the biggest need is, and fix that pain point. #ai #founder #investment #vc #aiwave
