An increasing number of people are joining the startup and attending its events. “It has been intense,” Rory Moore, founder of Catalyst Events said in an interview with The Amsterdammer, “We have been expanding very quickly from 400 visitors in June to 800+ in November.” At its launch, Catalyst Events’ sole founder was the only crew member. Now, they have grown to a team of 20 people from core management to production and event crew members, consisting solely of students.
The student startup has been a promising opportunity for students looking to gain real work experience and create a portfolio while also getting paid for their work, unlike most unpaid voluntary student positions. Joining them gives students an opportunity to try out positions such as photographer, DJ, marketer, promoter, and so on.
