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

have to say about us
In their words
A sample of testimonials from founders, advisors and investors who have worked with us.
“I joined FounderCatalyst and within an hour they had provided feedback on our pitch deck and forecast, built an SEIS/EIS advance assurance submission for us and then we submitted. Within an hour - now that’s quality service and what a Founder needs!”
“FounderCatalyst made it simple for me to apply for HMRC SEIS Advance Assurance and set up my funding round. Using helpful templates provided by FounderCatalyst, I spent a few weeks refining my pitch deck and forecast. Once I was ready, it took less than an hour to get everything online and submitted to HMRC. I hit submit at 11am on a Thursday and by 9am the following Monday, I had the good news from HMRC!”
“Super helpful - even writing back to urgent questions I had out of normal office hours. Really informative and reassuring. Can't fault them.”
“I had no idea about SEIS/EIS and the team clearly explained the process and took the hassle away by managing it end to end. They turned our deck and financial plan into an SEIS/EIS submission in less than a day and managed to get HMRC approval within two days enabling me to focus on my fundraise.”
“FounderCatalyst has created an impressively efficient and cost effective way of managing funding rounds.”
“I was dreading the funding process as everybody told me that it's complicated. But with FounderCatalyst it has been very straightforward and I’m wondering what the drama is about?!”
“They say word-of-mouth is the best kind of marketing, and judging by the people who pop up in every entrepreneur group singing FounderCatalyst’s praises (myself included!), they are smashing it! As first-time founders, there was so much we were nervous about or didn’t fully understand, and FounderCatalyst has consistently made time for us and never laughed at our questions! The founder Sam truly goes above and beyond to share relevant contacts and opportunities for his founders. They handled our entire fundraising journey perfectly and I couldn't have asked for a better partner. Highly recommend.”
“If you want speed, service and cost efficiency. FC are your guys. - Wow! FC is another level of good. From my first intro call with Sam (he was keen to explain and simplify the process for us) to concluding investment and issuing the SEIS3 certificates to investors, the process has been so intuitive and efficient....and speedy! The human response time on their support is remarkable. I used the 'other' guys for years and this is a whole different experience...and MUCH cheaper. Bravo.”
“The portal is excellent, it is making things much more straight forward than I imagined them to be.”
