FounderCatalyst is a London-based legal technology platform helping UK startups raise investment, manage equity and handle the paperwork surrounding funding rounds. Built by founders, investors, accountants and lawyers, the platform supports businesses from early conversations with friends and family through pre-seed, seed and Series A investment. Services include SEIS and EIS Advance Assurance applications, Advance Subscription Agreements, priced funding rounds, cap table management, investor documentation, data rooms and electronic signing. FounderCatalyst also helps companies establish and manage EMI and unapproved share option schemes, making it easier to reward employees and align their interests with the company’s growth. Founders receive access to technology alongside guidance from experienced professionals. Fixed pricing means businesses know what the service will cost without surrendering a percentage of the money raised. Free resources are also available, including fundraising templates, practical guides and calculators for valuations, SEIS/EIS and Advance Subscription Agreements.
