Make targeted changes to your FounderCatalyst documents, such as adding vesting clauses or updating terms. Every edit is drafted for you to review and approve before it's finalised.

Q: Add accelerated vesting to the EMI option agreement for Jane Doe.

A: I've added a single-trigger acceleration clause to Jane Doe's EMI option agreement. Review the updated document before sending it for signature.

Document explanations

Ask for an explanation of what a document means by name, or what a particular section means for your use case, whether you're a founder, investor, shareholder or advisor.

Q: What does clause 4.2 of my shareholders agreement mean for me as a founder?

A: It sets the pre-emption rights existing shareholders have when new shares are issued. As a founder, it means you get first refusal on new shares before outside investors.

General document creation

Create documents like NDAs by answering a few questions. The AI produces the document and gives you a link to preview it inside FounderCatalyst.

Q: Create a mutual NDA for ABC Ltd.

A: I've created the NDA. You can preview and download it here: [link to FounderCatalyst document].

Company dashboard and reminders

Ask what's outstanding across your company: upcoming deadlines, filing requirements, agile authorisations ending, and documents still waiting on a signature, including yours.

Q: What do I still need to sign this week?

A: You have 2 documents awaiting signature: the shareholder resolution for ABC Ltd and your own EIS3 certificate confirmation.

Cap table intelligence

Ask about any participant's ownership, percentage, share classes, and schemes. Run exit scenarios like: Who owns more than 10%? What would each founder receive if we sold for £10M?

Q: Who on my cap table owns more than 10%?

A: Three shareholders hold 10% or more: Jane Doe (28%), John Smith (15%), and Daring Capital (12%).

Funding round setup

Set up and configure agile authorisations or ASA approvals, and add investors to a funding round or ASA. You'll still review and approve everything before anything is sent.

Q: Add Max Heal to the ABC agile round as a £25,000 investor.

A: Max Heal has been added to the ABC agile round at £25,000. Review the details before sending the invitation.

Multiple companies

Connect and switch between several companies in Claude or ChatGPT. Ideal for advisors, founders with multiple ventures, or active investors.

Q: Switch to FounderCatalyst Ltd. How long until my subscription renews?

A: FounderCatalyst Ltd is on the Core subscription, which renews in 24 days on 30 September.

Security

Built for your most sensitive data

You choose what it can reach, your role decides what it sees, and document edits wait for a person. Each permission below is granted separately when you approve the connection.

Your own data

Read your shareholdings, your option grants and the documents addressed to you.

Company data

Read the documents, signing status, cap table, option grants and outstanding tasks of the companies you belong to, limited by your role in each.

Draft document edits

Propose edits to editable documents, send signature reminders and create general documents. Proposed edits are staged for you to review and approve before anything is saved.

Prepare funding paperwork

Create and configure funding rounds and ASA approvals, and add investors. These changes save immediately, but can never lock a round or send an invitation.

No API keys to copy

You sign in with your own FounderCatalyst account through a standard approval screen. The assistant never sees your password, your passkey and two-factor sign-in still apply, and there is no key to store or leak.

Connecting adds no access

It reaches only what you could already see when signed in, and your role is re-checked on every request. A company you hold no accepted role in does not exist to it.

Revoke in one click

Every connection is listed in your account with who authorised it and when. Access tokens last one hour and every connection must be approved again after 90 days, so ending a connection takes effect quickly.

Access by role

Your role decides what it sees

The assistant works with exactly the access your role in each company gives you, and no more.

Add an investor

Lock a round or send invitations

Always done by a person

Locking a round and sending invitations are never available to an assistant, whatever your role. A person always does those in FounderCatalyst.

Approval

Document edits wait for a person

An assistant can draft a change to a document, but it cannot make one.

1. You ask

Tell the assistant what you want changed, in plain English.

2. It drafts a proposal

The edit is checked against the document format and staged as a proposal. The document itself is unchanged.

3. You approve in FounderCatalyst

Someone at the company reviews the proposal and approves or rejects it. Only an approved edit changes the document.

A record of who did what

Each proposal records who asked for it, who reviewed it and when. Funding changes made through an assistant are recorded in the audit trail against the person who authorised the connection, and marked as coming from the AI agent.
