“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.
““FounderCatalyst have been really helpful for our startups’ investment round. We received advanced assurance for our SEIS/EIS application within 2 days of submitting it through FounderCatalyst, and the various support systems, pitch reviews and Whatsapp groups have been great as well. On top of all that, we’ve also set up all of our legal documentation and data room through FounderCatalyst, which is amazing.””


“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.”


“We submitted our advance assurance using FounderCatalyst 28th of May 2024 and had a positive response back by 10am on the 30th. Amazing!”


““Such a supportive network and honest, real-life advice and feedback. Perfect for early stage founders.””


“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! ”


“Extremely competitive and capable platform, it has condensed wisdom built in, and is good value for money. I'd recommend it without hesitation.”


“We founded Giles AI to dramatically accelerate clinical and medical research using secure, cutting-edge, conversational AI. The impact is transformative: a typical 10-year, $1.5bn drug or device development pipeline can be accelerated significantly – getting life-saving innovations to market faster than ever before. With our collaboration with Google, our recent £750K pre-seed raise gives us the runway to scale rapidly - FounderCatalyst were instrumental facilitating the raise, providing expert legal guidance and an incredibly efficient process that let us stay focused on building the future of medical research.”


“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.”
“Best decision we made as founders was switching to FounderCatalyst. Wasted a load of money with Seed Legals originally. Advice from some junior guys there vs Sam (a multiple exited founder and investor himself) doesn’t even compare. Sam had to spent a lot of time unpicking bad advice we had previously but did so with minimum fuss and no extra cost. Can’t recommend enough.”
