# Catalytics Automation > Catalytics Automation builds custom business operating systems for compliance-heavy businesses doing $500K–$10M in annual revenue. Founded in 2022 by Camilo Henao (ex-IBM engineer, ex-$1B venture-backed startup data program manager, Boston College) and headquartered in Miami, FL.
