Neil S. Waterman III
Managing Director

Neil is the Founder and Managing Director of Catapult Partners, LP. Over the last decade Neil has founded several entrepreneurial ventures, and has a proven track record of identifying the lack of a product or service in a specific market and then filling that void. Neil has always had a passion to work with fellow entrepreneurs and their emerging businesses, and truly enjoys connecting people and opportunities in an effort to achieve success for all parties. As an entrepreneur himself, Neil is not afraid of trying something new and thinking outside of the box.

To that end, in an effort to gain a broader perspective on an international level, he spent five years in Latin America (Chile and Argentina) immediately following his graduation from college. During his time abroad, Neil was involved in various ventures in the hospitality, media, and software fields; served on the Board of Endeavor Chile (a non-profit organization which encourages the growth of entrepreneurs in emerging markets), and also completed his Executive MBA program. Neil currently serves on the board of the University of Texas at Dallas-Center for BrainHealth, a scientific institute that combines cutting-edge brain research with clinical interventions. Neil is a member of the Dallas Chapter of Entrepreneurs' Organization where he served two terms on the Board (2006-2008), and is a former member of the World Presidents' Organization's Young Adult Forum in Dallas. Neil has been a volunteer with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of North Texas, is an active member of Highland Park Presbyterian Church in Dallas, and currently serves on the Alumni Board of the Episcopal School of Dallas. Neil holds Master of Business Administration degrees from both Tulane University and the Universidad de Chile, and is fluent in Spanish. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and International Studies from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. Neil resides in Dallas with his wife and two daughters.
