“As a founder building an agentic AI platform for workforce planning in supply chains, I'm always looking for tools that save time and money. 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.
“Extremely competitive and capable platform, it has condensed wisdom built in, and is good value for money. I'd recommend it without hesitation.”
“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've been working with FounderCatalyst all year on several rounds of funding raises. The product is great: providing a slick experience for founders and investors alike. In addition, customer service is fantastic, with very quick turnaround on queries and thorough responses to any questions.”
“Sam was so helpful with my SEIS/EIS application, I would definitely recommend FounderCatalyst. Everything was done super quickly which was great for me as I had had imminent investor conversations that depended on my advanced assurance”
“The FounderCatalyst platform streamlined our fundraising process, and the team helped us navigate a number of complexities to complete our funding round swiftly. We are now using the amazing ‘agile’ funding feature to top up the previous round over the next few months as and when”
“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.”
“The whole experience of raising investment with FounderCatalyst has been exceptional. Having been a founder before and as Entrepreneur in Residence at the University of Bath and SetSquared, I've experienced either first or second hand most ways of managing investment rounds, through crowd platforms to employing teams of expensive lawyers and advisors. I'd heard about FounderCatalyst and had always been intrigued. So, when it came time to raise our Seed round for Earswitch we thought it time to try them out. The system, simplicity and support made the whole process a doddle and we're now about to start our 4th round on the platform. Very highly recommended! ”
“We've been using FC since we founded our company in January 2024. They secured our SEIS approval from HMRC and have helped us close two investment rounds; Pre-Seed and an agile investment round. We were new to this and we'd have been lost with FC. Not just the platform itself, but Sam, Max, Andy and the team who are always there for us, for our questions, and for our suggestions on improvements. They're the absolute best and I recommend them to every new startup founder I meet; no referral commissions needed, they're just that good.”
“I'm always happy to recommend FounderCatalyst to other founders - there's so much added value to being a customer! You become part of a great founder community, and Sam and his team are always on hand for support with any burning questions you have around fundraising and legals.”
