FounderCatalyst delivered both - the process was seamless, and it cost less than a tenth of what I was quoted elsewhere. It let us stay focused on growing the business, not buried in fundraising admin.”

have to say about us
In their words
A sample of testimonials from founders, advisors and investors who have worked with us.
“We met FounderCatalyst through the Startup 2 Standup Community, and were immediately impressed with their proactive approach to supporting founders. Their guidance from the very start with the advance assurance submission to closing our initial tranche has been truly invaluable, combined with the auto-documentation and flexibility the platform gives you at every stage in the round, makes FC the best choice for pre-seed startups.”
“FounderCatalyst has been absolutely superb in helping me navigate the SEIS/EIS advance assurance process. My business certainly was not vanilla in its application process, but they took the time to brainstorm the best way to conduct our application. The team always act in a very timely manner, with a knowledgeable understanding of the process. Certainly would recommend the FounderCatalyst to any start-up!”
“FounderCatalyst is a must for ALL businesses looking to raise capital. As a qualified accountant even I struggle with the legalities, paperwork and even dealing with HMRC to obtain advance assurance. FounderCatalyst removes all these headaches and unlike their competitors the co-founders are always on hand to provide valuable support every step of the way. Quite simply they have become an invaluable 'department' of my business and I'm very grateful to be working with them.”
“Just closed my round on FounderCatalyst - super simple and having the FC team on hand for any question (even the silly ones) was brilliant. Fixed fee is a game changer vs the competition, allowing you to keep more of the funds you raise for getting going with your business.”
“We moved to FounderCatalyst from their rival after our first round - the fee structure in FounderCatalyst suited us much better and the support provided by the FounderCatalyst team has been excellent. They have an automatic tool to import our CapTable and we were up and running within minutes. My next round will cost about a third on FounderCatalyst.”
“Really helpful team who helped us secure our EIS advance assurance in super quick time. Very competitively priced too - thanks!”
“I had a really important meeting with an investor and had realised my cap table needed adjusting since we had made a few changes in the last few months. We had been using another platform for our documentation, but unfortunately, time was of the essence, and I needed something I could send on ASAP, I needed help with it and unfortunately, this was not something they could provide. My first thought was of Sam. I have known Sam for the last few years whilst building Bezzelle and knew that he was someone who could potentially save the day, I can confirm not only brilliant with all things funding, also a super nice guy too! Awaiting the outcome of the investment meeting but he has a new customer for our next funding round! (Sorry in advance for all my share related queries!)”
“Extremely responsive and helpful throughout a couple of raises with technical questions etc. Would definitely recommend - thank you for all your help.”
“I wish I had met Sam earlier. I came across FounderCatalyst during a free webinar, Sam was so informative. This is my first funding round and Sam has made this process so easy. Help to understand the process, the rapid responses and attention to detail is excellent, even before I had committed. There was no time pressured 'special deal' deal on price, the pricing is really transparent and they do not take a percentage of your raise. The platform is easy to use and navigate, I have been able to invite my co-founder to the platform too. The templates and resources are also brilliant. Thank you Sam, I appreciate your support and we are excited for the journey ahead. Highly recommended.”
