And higher rated than competitors, according to Trustpilot.

“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.”

What founders say

In their words

A sample of testimonials from founders, advisors and investors who have worked with us.

“I've got a background in law, so I'm comfortable with the mechanics of a funding round. The FounderCatalyst service is unique though - they give you personal support and use their experience to guide you through the key decisions - something only exited founders and angels investors can provide.”

“The level of service you receive is not in line with how much you pay. Typical SaaS businesses will take your payment and offer no support but I would argue you receive a lot more support and service than you pay for. Sam is a wealth of knowledge as well”

“FounderCatalyst was introduced to me by a former colleague whilst I was exploring personal investment opportunities in companies already using the FC platform. After a briefing with Sam Simpson, I decided to use the platform for my own start-up Soul Padel. The S/EIS process couldn’t have been easier and simpler to understand and Sam’s hands-on guidance was much appreciated throughout. We then launched our SEIS round with FounderCatalyst and being a first time founder, it was enormously helpful to have the structured guides, articles and the hugely beneficial community of founders to tap into. Not only that but the ecosystem of professionals associated with the FC platform enabled me to seek cost effective advice early. We recently closed our first round after securing investment from a single HNW individual, without the use of costly lawyers or lengthy complex negotiations. I can’t recommend FounderCatalyst highly enough. If you are looking to start your own business and raise investment, you need to start your process with FounderCatalyst. It’s much much cheaper than what you’ll find elsewhere but the best thing is, Sam as founder will be your friend, guide and mentor throughout. Nowhere else gives you that level of service. It’s so good, I’ve also invested in FounderCatalyst platform users because I know their governance and structure is sound and very well put together. It’s more than just a service, it’s a community.”

“I’ve completed two rounds with FounderCatalyst and have referred at least five fellow founders for their fundraising legal needs. The team is not only highly experienced and knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive, responsive, and fully understands the fast-paced nature of deal-making for founders. Their founder-first approach and service quality made me switch from Seedlegals to FounderCatalyst after my first round. Highly recommended.”

“We completed our first raise with FC and the process was simple, effective and a bargain. They combine excellent advice and an extremely responsive support team, which is so important as even though the process is clear and well explained, you do not want to make mistakes! Emma from their team has been amazing, helping me get in a time sensitive submission ahead of the tax deadline, including helping me on a Saturday in Twixtmas! Thank you very much!”

“FounderCatalyst were first class from start to finish. The help provided in navigating the minefield of SEIS/EIS advance assurance and fundraising legal documentation has been invaluable. They never tired of answered my questions enabling a smooth process for us founders and our investors in as far afield as Australia. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”

“I wish I had met Sam earlier. I came across FounderCatalyst during a free webinar, Sam was so informative. This is my first funding round and Sam has made this process so easy. Help to understand the process, the rapid responses and attention to detail is excellent, even before I had committed. There was no time pressured 'special deal' deal on price, the pricing is really transparent and they do not take a percentage of your raise. The platform is easy to use and navigate, I have been able to invite my co-founder to the platform too. The templates and resources are also brilliant. Thank you Sam, I appreciate your support and we are excited for the journey ahead. Highly recommended.”
