Katalyst Network is a company founded by Ashton Kutcher and Jason Goldberg, based in Los Angeles, California. It is the company behind television series such as Beauty and the Geek and Punk'd.[1]

Founding history

The company was launched in 2000 by Ashton Kutcher and Jason Goldberg to develop television and film properties. In 2005, a social media division was added. The mission is to match storytelling with competitive distribution and technology platforms for some of the biggest brands in the world.

The company also founded a YouTube channel, Thrash Lab, to show unscripted content. The channel was partially funded by YouTube in 2012.[2][3]

The company is now permanently closed. [4]
