“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.
“I’ve been told by another founder that SEIS / EIS advance assurance could take months – FounderCatalyst submitted our advance assurance on the 3rd of October 2023 and we received a positive response in just 24 hours”
“Wonderful to be in the FounderCatalyst family. We get so much support! ”
“FounderCatalyst took the extremely complicated SEIS Compliance and Certificate process and made it very straightforward for founders. Extra kudos that it’s bundled for free with a funding round!”
“Extremely responsive and helpful throughout a couple of raises with technical questions etc. Would definitely recommend - thank you for all your help.”
“We’ve now used FounderCatalyst for 2 funding rounds as well as an EMI scheme, and they’ve been amazing throughout. We really value the simplicity, speed, customer support and transparent pricing. We needed an option scheme to incentivise employees under EMI. The Option service from FounderCatalyst is a total end to end package. It includes everything we needed; from defining the scheme, authorising the option pool, achieving EMI valuation approval with HMRC and inviting and issuing options to individuals. The process was slick and offered human support along the way…and was, at the time of our research, the most cost effective option too! ”
“Sam Simpson and FounderCatalyst are highly reliable. I know many founders who rate Sam and he has been a great asset to AIS as facilitator. As a founder now, I rely on Sam’s expertise - helping me through my startup journey.”
“We used FounderCatalyst to do our SEIS advance assurance, our initial fundraising round, and subsequent agile round. The experience throughout all this was incredible. The level of personal service and attention to detail is unmatched. I have previously used a competitor service and it doesn't come close to what FounderCatalyst offers. We will continue using them and cannot recommend Sam and the team highly enough.”
“I'm always happy to recommend FounderCatalyst to other founders - there's so much added value to being a customer! You become part of a great founder community, and Sam and his team are always on hand for support with any burning questions you have around fundraising and legals.”
“The process with FoundersCatalyst was smooth and efficient. Given my inexperience in the startup world, the team held my hand and explained things to me. The WhatsApp group of exceptional founders has been invaluable. I received my SEIS assurance within three weeks.”
