CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Catalytic (https://www.catalytic.com), a SaaS intelligent automation platform, has raised $30 million in a Series B financing round led by Intel Capital, with participation from Redline Capital and existing investors NEA, Boldstart, and Hyde Park Angels. The funds will be used to expand the company’s engineering, sales, and operations to meet increased customer demand.

“Leading enterprises are embracing our vision of customer-led, cloud-based process automation.

We do so, in large part, by supporting exceptional entrepreneurs.”
