“Thank you to FounderCatalyst for making Investment easy and guiding us through all the legal steps required and answering all our queries so quickly. If you are a founder looking for SEIS and EIS approval, looking to understand where to find investors, or simply need support with the legal side of investment FounderCatalyst are the team to talk too.”
“Money and time are crucial in the startup world and what keep your company alive. Sam has been absolutely crucial on getting us SEIS/EIS advanced insurance in less than 48 hours. We have worked together efficiently and to the point. Exactly what you need when you're trying to launch your company, meet clients, pitch investors, without forgetting watering the plants ;-)”
“I have had an excellent experience, Sam, Max and Rebecca all super helpful, easy to get hold of, patient and happy to explain and help first timers. I wholly recommend and look forward to our investor journey having just received our SEIS and EIS assurance in 48 hours. Great value, great people, great service.”
“Phenomenal! Sam and his team at FounderCatalyst helped demystify our route ahead and provided invaluable insight and support in obtaining our SEIS Advanced Assurance. I don't believe we would have done it without him. What's more, the approval only took 5.5 business hours from submission. Far faster than HMRC was advising themselves. I firmly believe this was down to the solid preparation and support provided by FounderCatalyst.”
“Ronseal for fund raises - they do what they say on the tin! Chose FounderCatalyst for our first fundraise over Vestd and SeedLegals after conversations with all three. Reason for choosing - Sam. Direct, no nonsense advice from someone who has been there and done it. Service once we were onboard did not disappoint. Clear guidance and instructions with questions answered quickly and comprehensively. No hesitation in recommending to other founders.”
“I was dreading the funding process as everybody told me that it's complicated. But with FounderCatalyst it has been very straightforward and I’m wondering what the drama is about?!”
“I am doing a funding round using another legal paperwork provider but hit an issue with our SEIS/EIS advance assurance being queried. I wasn’t entirely confident in the proposed response to HMRC and someone recommended I speak to the FC team. They helped me to improve my response and their support led to a positive response. Amazingly helpful and knowledgeable team, even for someone who wasn’t a customer. I've recommended them to colleagues already and will be switching to FC for our next round!”
“Really helpful team who helped us secure our EIS advance assurance in super quick time. Very competitively priced too - thanks!”
“The FounderCatalyst the platform is brilliant. I was able to login, complete the questions and get to a draft Term sheet in record time. Excellent design.”
