Build a standout innovation project with a top global professional leader. In the CATALYST 1:1 Program by VisionnaireX, students work directly with Directors, Founders, and industry leaders to design a custom innovation or business project, gain professional endorsements, and develop leadership and presentation skills that set them apart for top universities and future careers.
CATALYST by VisionnaireX — Custom 1:1 Passion Projects with Global Industry Leaders
Take your ambition to the next level with CATALYST, the advanced 1:1 innovation mentorship by VisionnaireX. Designed for high-performing students (ages 15–18), this program pairs you directly with senior professionals — including Directors, Founders, and industry experts — to design a custom project aligned with your personal interests and future goals.
Each CATALYST experience is completely personalized — from topic and scope to deliverable and pace. Students choose the area they’re passionate about, such as technology, business, health, design, or sustainability, and work with their mentor to shape a project that demonstrates creativity, leadership, and real-world problem-solving.
Mentorship is paired with expert-led masterclasses on leadership mindset, personal branding, pitching, negotiation, and effective networking — helping students grow into confident, future-ready leaders. By the end of the program, every participant graduates with a portfolio-ready project, a professional recommendation letter, and the real-world experience to stand out in college applications or early internships.
