ABOUT US
Founded by a DREAM
Indigo's entrepreneurial journey began at a young age in Cambridge, MA. At ten years old, she started by reselling items from Goodwill in her hometown. She would then set up shop at Cedar Street Park, where she sold these items. Her passion for business was evident even in her childhood, as she and her godbrother Ben would make and sell pancakes during their summer trips to Newburport, MA.
With years of experience in both business and the non-profit community, Indigo's vision took shape in the form of the Saint George Market. This marketplace aimed to support small business owners, helping them expand their customer base. As time passed and the marketplace evolved, it underwent a strategic transformation in Fall 2023. This transformation led to the birth of Catori West, a platform designed to showcase small businesses year-round. Catori West serves as a social platform dedicated to promoting excellence in business throughout the year.
Indigo's journey from a young reseller to the creator of Catori West demonstrates her unwavering commitment to entrepreneurship and supporting small businesses

Indigo Klabanoff
FOUNDER & CEO
2019- Present
After raising $500 for the March of Dimes at age 11, Indigo caught the “giving back” bug. She is currently an entrepreneur & is passionate about making a difference.
That coupled with a love of the arts and unique finds, she decided to create Saint George’s first pop-up market featuring amazing artisans and local business owners. Supporting the community and local economies all in the name of a good cause is what Indigo’s vision is all about.
Indigo sits on boards that represent her love of the arts & philanthropy namely as it pertains to women and children. Affiliations include: New Promise Lutheran Church Council: President, Art Around the Corner, Three Corners Women’s Giving Circle, and Assistance League.
