In their words
A sample of testimonials from founders, advisors and investors who have worked with us.
“I’ve been using FounderCatalyst since July, and as a first-time founder the difference has been genuinely meaningful. My first conversation with Max and immediately felt different. It wasn’t a sales call. It was human, thoughtful, and grounded in real understanding. I felt heard. There was empathy and expertise, which is rare when you’re navigating something as unfamiliar as SEIS for the first time. I needed hands-on support to set up SEIS, and the whole process was incredibly smooth. The guidance was clear, practical, and seamless from start to finish. No hidden costs, no surprises. That clarity, combined with the quality of the conversations, is what turned me into a very happy customer early on. In the 7 months since, FounderCatalyst has never let me down. Questions are answered quickly, the resources are genuinely useful, and the seminars are well thought through. But what really stands out is the community. The WhatsApp group is exceptional: founders sharing candid experiences, advice, and lessons without ego. Sam is consistently present and on top of things, and this is a safe space, both supportive and practical. FounderCatalyst, and the community around it, has become a key pillar of my startup journey. The learning, the empathy, and the steady support from Sam and the wider group have been invaluable. As a founder, that kind of environment makes a real difference.”


“FounderCatalyst is truly a Founder friendly company, both when things go well and unexpectedly. I was dealing with quite an outlier situation with my company. Max, Sam and team did their absolute best to help resolve the situation. I was impressed with their responsiveness and knowledge. There are alternative legal platforms out there, but none that truly holds founder friendliness as a core principle. Highly highly recommend.”


“We raised £304,000 on the FounderCatalyst platform and that gave us the confidence to use their option scheme service. We shopped around competitors but the fact we could have unlimited EMI options for staff and unlimited unapproved options for advisors was an amazing opportunity, with zero scaling costs.”


“I’d heard that FounderCatalyst’s SEIS advance assurance was lightning quick from another founder, but they’ve excelled themselves with Archive This Ltd. Full advance assurance received from HMRC in less than 3 working hours.”


“Sam was easy to work with and the SEIS and EIS advanced assurance process could not have been easier.”


“FoundersCatalyst simplified the complex investment process experience from start to finish. Their platform has everything you need, and when it comes to queries, their team's response time is first class. They simplified my SEIS/EIS Advance Assurance application making everything straightforward and the entire process moved at an impressive pace, letting me focus on business rather than more paperwork. Highly recommended for any founder!”


“I wish I had met Sam earlier. I came across FounderCatalyst during a free webinar, Sam was so informative. This is my first funding round and Sam has made this process so easy. Help to understand the process, the rapid responses and attention to detail is excellent, even before I had committed. There was no time pressured 'special deal' deal on price, the pricing is really transparent and they do not take a percentage of your raise. The platform is easy to use and navigate, I have been able to invite my co-founder to the platform too. The templates and resources are also brilliant. Thank you Sam, I appreciate your support and we are excited for the journey ahead. Highly recommended.”


“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.”


“Rapid Assurance: Exceptional Service by FounderCatalyst and Sam - I recently worked with FounderCatalyst and was thoroughly impressed by their exceptional service. From start to finish, the experience was smooth and efficient. Sam provided prompt, helpful responses - answering every question I had and guiding me through the process with clarity and ease. Thanks to his and the team's dedication, I was able to complete the form quickly and even received full advance assurance in less than 8 working hours! This level of responsiveness and professionalism is rare, and it truly made all the difference. I highly recommend FounderCatalyst and thank Sam for his outstanding support!”
