Katalyst Films, the production company run by Kutcher and Jason Goldberg, and creators of “Punk’d”, among other TV shows and movies, has raised about $10 million in venture funding, reports PEHub. The lead investor is Prime Capital. Katalyst has an existing deal with AOL (NYSE: TWX) dating back to Feb 2006, to develop five series of minisodes (though not sure if that ever came to fruition). Also not known: what will the money be used for.
