FounderCatalyst delivered both - the process was seamless, and it cost less than a tenth of what I was quoted elsewhere.

In their words
A sample of testimonials from founders, advisors and investors who have worked with us.
“FounderCatalyst's Agile functionality is perfect for navigating the messy reality of fundraising. It's incredibly simple to use, and takes the sting out of the otherwise intimidating paperwork. The FC team themselves are always going above and beyond - answering emails and lending a hand at awkward hours.”
“I had a fantastic experience with FoundersCatalyst from start to finish (and continue to receive ongoing support). They responded quickly to my initial inquiry, providing excellent guides and transparent information about fees, how the platform works, and what to expect. After following their templates and guidance, we submitted our pitch deck and financial forecast, and Founders Catalyst handled our SEIS application to HMRC. We received approval within three weeks, with no complications. The platform is straightforward to set up, offering term sheets, a data room etc., and a wealth of video/blog content to help. For specific inquiries, their ticketing system is incredibly responsive—usually within a few hours. On top of that, there’s an excellent community on WhatsApp, which includes all the FC staff as well as peers who are friendly, welcoming, and happy to answer even our "stupid questions" throughout the entire funding journey. I can't recommend FoundersCatalyst enough. The founder, Sam, is exceptionally knowledgeable and very generous with his time, supporting every founder to succeed in their funding rounds.”
“Swift is an understatement: I joined the FounderCatalyst platform at 5pm and 4 hours later my pitch deck & forecast had been reviewed and my SEIS advance assurance was with HMRC.”
“Very helpful, super flexible and reasonably priced. Just what any founder could wish for. Highly recommend.”
“FounderCatalyst were first class from start to finish. The help provided in navigating the minefield of SEIS/EIS advance assurance and fundraising legal documentation has been invaluable. They never tired of answered my questions enabling a smooth process for us founders and our investors in as far afield as Australia. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”
“We found FounderCatalyst to be very knowledgeable, supportive and accessible throughout our process of successfully applying for S/EIS Advanced Assurance - big shoutout to Sam Simpson and Emma Sharpe. We are now currently using their platform for fundraising and the experience is good. The team are very personable and the platform is founder friendly. We highly recommend FounderCatalyst.”
“FoundersCatalyst simplified the complex investment process experience from start to finish. Their platform has everything you need, and when it comes to queries, their team's response time is first class. They simplified my SEIS/EIS Advance Assurance application making everything straightforward and the entire process moved at an impressive pace, letting me focus on business rather than more paperwork. Highly recommended for any founder!”
“Rapid Assurance: Exceptional Service by FounderCatalyst and Sam - I recently worked with FounderCatalyst and was thoroughly impressed by their exceptional service. From start to finish, the experience was smooth and efficient. Sam provided prompt, helpful responses - answering every question I had and guiding me through the process with clarity and ease. Thanks to his and the team's dedication, I was able to complete the form quickly and even received full advance assurance in less than 8 working hours! This level of responsiveness and professionalism is rare, and it truly made all the difference. I highly recommend FounderCatalyst and thank Sam for his outstanding support!”
“The whole experience from entering details and completing EIS advance assurance forms to signing the final legal documents was so simple and intuitive.”
