“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.”

In their words
A sample of testimonials from founders, advisors and investors who have worked with us.
“Sam and his team are the real deal, they know what they are talking about and offer the best value in town. I can confidently say this having wasted money and been disappointed with another firm (SL) previously.”
“Sam and the team at FounderCatalyst have been integral in helping @Loha get investment ready. From advice on SEIS eligibility to pitch deck feedback they are very responsive and offer great support to help you reach your fundraising goals. The vibrant WhatsApp community of over 250 founders and investors is a godsend. Thank you FC!”
“I approached my first funding round as a naive, first time founder with more to learn than I realised. From day 1, the FounderCatalyst team gave their time, knowledge and guidance in abundance. All I can say is that I thank my lucky stars that our paths crossed - I consider myself incredibly fortunate. With FounderCatalyst, you know they genuinely care about the success of the people they work with. They have made the HMRC AA process for SEIS a breeze. They has helped perfect our pitch deck, sanity check our financials and get our ducks in a row for our funding round, as well as give us that all important optimism when things get bumpy. The FounderCatalyst platform gives me and our investors complete confidence in arranging legals. Thank you!”
“Agile is sliiiick!”
“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.”
“Highly recommend. Good platform and superb service, plus a fantastic founders WhatsApp group if you want to be included.”
“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! ”
“The best investment we made was using FounderCatalyst for the legal work. It's really good value, the platform was easy to use and we had amazing support throughout from their CEO, Sam Simpson. I would absolutely recommend it to all founders!”
“We submitted our advance assurance using FounderCatalyst 28th of May 2024 and had a positive response back by 10am on the 30th. Amazing!”
