Our founders came together around a shared conviction: that real estate, when approached with discipline and purpose, can create enduring value for both investors and communities. With decades of experience across development, finance, and public-private partnerships, they’ve built their reputations by doing the work—quietly, consistently, and with integrity. At Catalyst Capital Fund, they bring that same steadiness to every decision, aligning capital with long-term impact and treating each investor as a true partner in the process.
Robert A. Hefner IV
Robert approaches real estate with a strategic eye and a deep sense of responsibility. His background in the oil and gas industry trained him to evaluate complex assets, manage high-stakes capital, and think several moves ahead—skills he now applies to the acquisition, planning, and execution of real estate projects.
What sets Robert apart isn’t just technical competence—it’s conviction. He believes development should serve families and strengthen communities, not just produce returns. Together with his wife, Carol Coury Hefner, whose real estate roots run deep as the daughter of longtime Oklahoma developer Sam Coury, Robert has embraced a multi-generational approach to development: honoring what came before while building what’s next.
He sees Catalyst as a way to align capital with deeper meaning—to give investors a seat at the table in shaping places that matter.
Larry Owsley
Larry brings over four decades of real-world development experience to Catalyst. His projects span retail, residential, and municipal infrastructure—but his true expertise lies in public-private partnerships. He has worked closely with Oklahoma cities to structure tax-incentive financing in a way that benefits both investors and the communities they serve.
Larry is not a theorist—he’s a builder. His developments in places like Harrah, Del City, and Seminole have helped transform underutilized spaces into sustainable community assets. Alongside his wife, Kay Owsley, Larry has remained grounded in a belief that progress is best measured not just by profit, but by people—by the neighborhoods uplifted and the families served.
At Catalyst, Larry’s role is clear: to ensure that every dollar deployed is part of something durable and worthwhile.
Together, Robert and Larry represent a commitment to excellence, stewardship, and community. Through Catalyst Capital Fund, they are offering more than an investment vehicle—they are inviting others to join a purposeful journey to build places that last.
