What believers are saying

  • 2026-08-08 Agentic Transformation targets legacy enterprises trapped in SharePoint and dashboards.
  • 2026-08-15 AI-native velocity and prompt-driven feedback compress delivery cycles, improving customer ROI.
  • 2026-09-02 LinkedIn hiring shows active team expansion, including Product Engineer Diego Rios Aguilar.

What critics are saying

  • 2026-08-15 pricing stays opaque, so buyers compare Katapult against cheaper staff-augmentation shops.
  • 2026-08-31 LinkedIn shows only 1,077 followers; weak brand limits inbound demand and hiring.
  • 2026-07-15 few-partner model creates existential revenue concentration if one anchor client leaves.

What makes Katapult Labs unique

  • 2026-08-15 website: embedded senior Colombian squads ship working v1s in weeks.
  • 2026-08-15 website: founders built software companies before, then sell execution, not staffing.
  • 2026-07-15 for-agents page: roughly 50 senior builders work full-time on few partner engagements.
