FounderCatalyst Reviews 

Seamless from the get go, every touch point with the team was brilliant. No question was too small.
Incredibly grateful!

Sam and his entire team have been fantastic from start to finish. Knowledgable, ultra responsive, and flexible with their support, they've been an amazing resource for us. I would definitely recommend them to any Founders looking for support with equity.

Sam has so much time, patience and passion to support founders. The team at Founder Catalyst were incredible helpful and supportive. They helped us with our SEIS application - very smooth process

Sam is great! Highly recommend!

Sam is a fountain of knowledge and refreshingly honest with his advice. As an accidental founder, I feel out of my depth and have felt lost trying to find resources that are succinct and transparent. Sam provides this, I have been to two of his workshops and they've both been great!

Founder Catalyst provided specific expert advice in support of our application for EIS - that led to a successful outcome for us. We just wouldn't have achieved this result without their guidance. Thank you.

The Founder Catalyst team are an incredible and cost effective support for any business going through a funding round. They offer their time generously and add significant value. The process of using their platform is relatively straight forward given the complexity of the documentation required. They have added lots of useful resources to support you and if you still need help, their customer support is incredible. Very quick response times, always happy to not just help but give explanations for understanding too. Thank you FC team.

Rebecca was super helpful, clear and supportive as we went through our SEIS/EIS Advance Assurance application.

We're now on with our funding round.

Great team, very knowledgable who always respond quickly. Exactly what I needed as a first time founder. Helped get my S/EIS AA approval. Definitely recommend.

Founder Catalyst have been a huge help guiding us through our first round and SEIS, would highly recommended them to other founders who are also fundraising!

We did an SEIS raise through Founder Catalyst and not only were they the best value out there, but we also received great support from Sam and his team. If something was urgent, it was treated as such, even getting replies late at night.
At first, the process and system can feel a little intimidating, but the platform is excellent and ultimately Founder Catalyst is always there with a guiding hand whenever needed.
And that is only half the story. We then raised more money via their Agile option, and it was easy and... hold on... free!
Thank you, Founder Catalyst.

From the very first video call with Max, I could tell FounderCatalyst was a step above the competition. The customer service has been exceptional and as a first time, solo founder, I had a lot of questions (some silly) but they were always taken seriously and answered promptly. Couldn't recommend the FounderCatalyst team enough!

Great experience from start to finish. Georgie and Sam gave us expert advice and highly recommend working with them.

Founder Catalyst were a huge help in guiding us through the SEIS process. They made everything much clearer, kept things moving efficiently, and gave us confidence that we were handling it properly. As an early-stage startup, having that support was extremely valuable.

I use FounderCatalyst to manage our share options scheme, and have been extremely happy with the service. Sam and his team are always on-hand to answer any queries or resolve any issues. (I also recommend them to my clients when working with sweat equity!)

The Founder Catalyst team are exceptional and I would refer anyone in my network to them at an instant. Their service is personalised, highly professional, and it's obvious they are extremely experienced. It really does like feel you're in good hands. Very very glad to have used them for our funding rounds, and to top it off, they are more affordable than competitors i.e. Seed Legals. I am no way in any shape or form officially affiliated with Founder Catalyst, but if anyone wishes to have a conversation of my experience, please feel free to reach out personally (as raising funds and applying for SEIS/EIS can be a daunting experience for founders). Thank you Founder Catalyst!

Extensive resources, documents and videos to help upskill founders through the process of fundraising. The Founders Catalyst team have been first class, always on hand to answer questions and guide us through SEIS and EIS Advanced Assurance (which we just received!)

Exceptional service! I joined FounderCatalyst in Nov 2025 to stay compliant while raising under KIC, and with their support secured Advanced Assurance. The team are knowledgeable, responsive and incredibly patient. Highly recommended by Creative UK Devon, SETsquared Exeter and Innovate UK - and it delivers. The platform is easy to use, the resources and Q&A sessions are invaluable, and despite a few minor bumps, it’s been a smooth experience overall. I couldn’t have done it without them and would highly recommend to any founder raising under SEIS/EIS. To note, once submitted, it was a super quick turnaround time of just one month!

I signed up for FounderCatalyst in December 2025 and my priority was staying compliant, while raising under SEIS/EIS. The FounderCatalyst team guided, advised and I now have Advanced Assurance and a secure data room. So we are now raising at the good rate and with the teams advice, adjusting our strategies. Its more than a platform.

I wish I could give a 6 star or more. FounderCatalyst is where to be for new founder. They made applying for SEIS/EIS like a breeze. They handheld me and ensure all my documentations were in place. More and beyond that they've got a community of founders who are ready to help when you meet with road blocks in your founder journey. Thanks to Sam and Georgie. You guys rock
