“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.
“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.”
“Helped us close a deal very quickly - no fuss, or costly annual fees. ”
“This platform helped more that i could have thought, from guiding me through my pre-seed raise, issuing the documents, keeping me accountable for what i needed to do...'You don't know what you don't know', and in a founder journey especially when dealing with legal and important paperwork this can fill you with fear. Luckily FC guides you through it all. Their community is also fab and so is their pricing.”
“Getting through a funding round can be a stressful time but Sam, Max and the FounderCatalyst team were a constant source of advice, support and help. It means a lot when you know they’ve got your back. Having completed 2 previous rounds using a different approach, the FounderCatalyst route has been the best experience by a distance.”
“I am a distiller of award-winning gins that are stocked in places like Harrods, but I know little about the funding paperwork and requirements. FC helped me to efficiently produce my funding paperwork in 2 days and I got SEIS advance assurance in less than two weeks.”
“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.”
“We found FounderCatalyst to be very knowledgeable, supportive and accessible throughout our process of successfully applying for S/EIS Advanced Assurance - big shoutout to Sam Simpson and Emma Sharpe. We are now currently using their platform for fundraising and the experience is good. The team are very personable and the platform is founder friendly. We highly recommend FounderCatalyst.”
“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.”
“Literally so helpful, and quick to respond to any questions we had throughout the process (which were a lot). Max was absolutely fantastic.”
