have to say about us
In their words
A sample of testimonials from founders, advisors and investors who have worked with us.
“Such a super-easy to use platform. Opened and closed a round and received the funds within 48-hours! Also, the business owner Sam is knowledgeable and supportive in other areas such as applications for SEIS/ EIS and the cost is lower than any other alternative - I checked!”
“FounderCatalyst have been excellent from start to finish. SEIS/EIS advance assurance support at a fixed rate and with lots of support. The best bit is the ongoing community of support- wouldn't go anywhere else and we'll be engaging in the new products/services which Sam & the Team bring out this year.”
“FounderCatalyst was an excellent choice, we were delighted with the platform throughout our funding round. From term sheet, legals, due diligence to data room, the process was faultless, keeping deal momentum and presenting a professional interface to our investors.”
“FounderCatalyst have been amazing, not only did they get the SEIS assurance as promised but the back up and additional services they provide as part of the service are invaluable. The community they create with other founders is also a great source of shared knowledge and support. Couldn’t recommend highly enough, thanks FC!”
“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!”
“I’ve been told by another founder that SEIS / EIS advance assurance could take months – FounderCatalyst submitted our advance assurance on the 3rd of October 2023 and we received a positive response in just 24 hours”
“The whole team is absolutely amazing !! Right from Sam to Emma who helped us with our application - are a delight to work with and know exactly what they are doing. I was really nervous about the EIS, but in the end the whole process was super easy thanks to FC.”

“We started our new company under our old company. Rookie mistake. This meant we fell outside of the timeline for EIS by more than a few years. FounderCatalyst worked with us on an appeal. Our new company was different to our old one. We had invested into it's development and were turning revenue. We got the thumbs up from HMRC. Was a happy day.”
