What Catapult Education does

Catapult Education is a privately-held LLC founded in 2003 and headquartered in Delray Beach, Florida. The company operates an online continuing education (CE) and product review platform serving dental professionals — dentists, hygienists, assistants, and dental students — through live webinars, on-demand courses, and a YouTube channel that the company describes as the largest dental education channel globally, with 115k+ subscribers and 50M+ views. Catapult holds ADA CERP Recognized Provider status and AGD PACE Recognized Provider status (Provider ID 306446, approval valid through 5/31/28), allowing it to issue CE credits accepted by US dental licensing boards. The company differentiates through its Catapult Vote of Confidence program, in which practicing dental evaluators test and endorse dental products, and through a Speakers Bureau of dental experts.

The platform is delivered on the LearnWorlds LMS and supported by a broad martech and operations stack, including HubSpot, Mixpanel, Google Analytics, Stripe (payments), Intercom, Zendesk, Freshchat, Olark, TawkTo (support), Refersion (affiliates), and OAuth identity providers (Google, Facebook, LinkedIn). The company runs three revenue streams: subscription-based CE course enrollment, affiliate/referral commissions from manufacturer partners (SDI, Kettenbach, Cocolab, Henry Schein One, Crown Catapult), and the Catapult Grow savings program that offers members discounts on partner-manufacturer dental products.

Catapult operates with a small team (1-10 employees) and has not raised institutional funding. GTM motion is product-led and content-driven: free YouTube content and website discovery drive 200+ new platform members per month into a self-serve account creation and CE enrollment funnel. Manufacturer partnerships serve a dual role as content contributors (enabling product reviews and CE courses) and revenue channels (affiliate commissions and savings program participation). The company does not disclose pricing publicly and offers no proprietary AI or machine learning capabilities of its own, though it distributes CE content covering AI features in partner products.
