Catalytic Data Science Selects Charleston, SC For Company Expansion

The Charleston Digital Corridor is pleased to announce that Catalytic Data Science, a venture backed company headquartered in Connecticut, has selected Charleston, South Carolina for their software development center. The company, founded in 2012 by biotech industry veteran and molecular biologist, Scott Sacane, will be located at the Digital Corridor's Flagship2 technology business incubator in Downtown Charleston.

Catalytic Data Science builds software for the brightest minds in today's research communities.

The Company's mission is to increase the pace of discovery and improve the lives of scientists by developing powerful tools that accelerate the various components of research and development activity.

In making the decision to locate their software development office in Charleston, the company considered other cities including New York, Boston, San Francisco, Boulder and Austin. Catalytic Data Science Founder and Chief Executive, Scott Sacane, cited Charleston's rapidly growing tech community, ability to attract senior talent, competitive cost of living and outstanding quality of life as some of the primary reasons for the decision.
