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.
“FounderCatalyst were really responsive when we used them for our raise and always had clear guidance - even when we were asking them things that were clearly documented on their website :-). We chose them because their price was incredibly reasonable, and I'm glad to say the service exceeded our expectations at that price point.”


“Completing your first funding round can be a daunting undertaking with so many unknowns. You don't know what you don't know. Sam and the team at FoundersCatalyst have held our hands through the whole process, been attentive when we have had queries, and made the whole procedure a lot easier than it may have otherwise been. Second to that, the value for money that you are receiving with FC over its competitors is significant (£1000s). When you are fundraising, you are generally doing so because your cash position is not at its strongest. Knowing that costs for your funding round are fixed, and wont spiral is a relief. We are currently in the Agile stage of our first round of investment, and will be completing more rounds through FC in the future. I'd recommend FC to any founder going into their first capital raise.”


“I'm a technology lawyer by background so I test a lot of technology all the time and FounderCatalyst is very easy to use. When you're starting out, cash is tight, but their fixed fee gave us unlimited EMI and unapproved options, plus every vesting variation we needed - time based, conditional, exit only. I didn't think twice!”


“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.”


“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.”


“Sam and the FounderCatalyst are attentive, diligent and extremely helpful with all things associated with a funding round, particularly, when it comes to legals. Sam has built a supportive and thriving community and that's a testament to his founder-first approach. I'd highly recommend his services to any founder looking to raise investment.”


“Rapid Assurance: Exceptional Service by FounderCatalyst and Sam - I recently worked with FounderCatalyst and was thoroughly impressed by their exceptional service. From start to finish, the experience was smooth and efficient. Sam provided prompt, helpful responses - answering every question I had and guiding me through the process with clarity and ease. Thanks to his and the team's dedication, I was able to complete the form quickly and even received full advance assurance in less than 8 working hours! This level of responsiveness and professionalism is rare, and it truly made all the difference. I highly recommend FounderCatalyst and thank Sam for his outstanding support!”


“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.”


“Money and time are crucial in the startup world and what keep your company alive. Sam has been absolutely crucial on getting us SEIS/EIS advanced insurance in less than 48 hours. We have worked together efficiently and to the point. Exactly what you need when you're trying to launch your company, meet clients, pitch investors, without forgetting watering the plants ;-)”
