have to say about us
In their words
A sample of testimonials from founders, advisors and investors who have worked with us.
“The process with FoundersCatalyst was smooth and efficient. Given my inexperience in the startup world, the team held my hand and explained things to me. The WhatsApp group of exceptional founders has been invaluable. I received my SEIS assurance within three weeks.”
“The FounderCatalyst team turned my advance assurance application around in just 2 working days and we had a positive response back from HMRC within a week. Their assistance with preparing my Investors Deck and forecast model was invaluable. We highly recommend using FounderCatalyst to other founders!”
“As a first time, solo founder, Sam has been hugely helpful helping me navigate the investment ecosystem.”
“We incorporated in 2000 and started trading almost immediately. We recently started looking to expand our business into new territories and needed an equity investment to facilitate that. Unfortunately, attracting angel investment in the UK is very hard without offering SEIS or EIS. We thought the ship had sailed until FounderCatalyst mentioned a little-known EIS provision known as Condition B. Long story short, the FounderCatalyst team successfully secured EIS advance assurance and we are now raising using that scheme.”
“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.”
“I used FounderCatalyst to assist with my advance assurance as my situation was unusual. FounderCatalyst built my advance assurance submission for me to save me learning the process, I reviewed and submitted on the 19th of September 2024. I was elated to receive confirmation of advance assurance the very next day.”
“FounderCatalyst provided outstanding & much needed support for the ReBorn business, throughout our launch period. In particular, we secured both SEIS & EIS approval - successfully, speedily and more cost effectively thanks to their input. Thoroughly recommended.”
“FounderCatalyst could not have been more helpful and supportive throughout our SEIS process.They worked diligently to help us get advance assurance much faster than we thought was possible. They went above and beyond the basic advance assurance process, and played a crucial role in helping us to secure funding. I can not recommend FounderCatalyst enough.”
“Strongly recommend this to all SEIS/EIS founders who need to do their legals and raise completed in a simple, straightforward, compliant low cost way. Sam and team go above and beyond.”
