Found Capital Avis 359

Working with Laurence has been an absolute pleasure. His expertise and insights in the investment space have been invaluable as I navigate the fundraising process for my company. Laurence has a great ability to understand the intricacies of a business and provide clear, actionable advice that drives progress. He’s always approachable, professional, and genuinely committed to helping entrepreneurs succeed. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for expert guidance in growing and scaling their business.

Laurence reached out to me on LinkedIn and we kicked off the review process. Him and the team reviewed our pitch in the times mentioned on their website and although it wasn't a good fit, he was happy to provide feedback and even two leads that I may contact. I found him very approachable and honest. Would recommend going through the process and speaking with Laurence directly.

Found have a methodical process that is transparent and as well as providing thorough feedback.

We had a great experience with Sally. Would recommend the experience to any young founder looking to raise investment.

A+ for feedback.

I recently spoke with Laurence at FoundCapital.io and was impressed by how quickly he understood our business and where we are in our funding journey. He shared clear, constructive feedback that highlighted both our strengths and the areas we should refine for our fundraising round.

I recently engaged with Found Capital, and I was really impressed by their professionalism and the quality of their feedback. The process was efficient, and the team provided insightful comments that were both constructive and actionable.

Their transparency and clear communication really stood out, and I felt they genuinely took the time to understand our business and goals. While we are moving in a different direction with our funding, I truly value the feedback I received and the opportunity to learn from their perspective.

If you're looking for an investment partner who offers valuable guidance and moves quickly, I highly recommend Found Capital.

The personalised response written by a human and the reassurance on valuation was appreciated. Liked the response guidelines - you aren't left hanging around.

Really appreciated the feedback we received from Found Capital - it was significantly more detailed than feedback from others, which meant it was significantly more helpful!

Found Capital was pleasure to deal with. Laurence communicated with our company at each stage and the feedback we received was constructive and helpful

I was grateful for feedback that was considered and showed how much time had been taken to understand my business. This is the first time I've received feedback despite not having a meeting which makes a refreshing change. I hope to approach Found Capital again when I am further along and will definitely be taking the feedback on board.

Despite not getting the golden prize of investment, the experience of going through the various stages was invaluable. Laurence + Sally were extremely communicative throughout - they ensured I had all the info I needed at each stage, plus their final feedback was well considered.

Communication from the team was clear and the feedback shared was both insightful and informative. Often, as a founder, you get generic feedback, so it is much appreciated when you get bespoke feedback that has been clearly written for us, rather than the, most common, broad statements that could have been written for anyone.

Great communication and clear feedbacks. Laurence was very accessible and helps us in all application journey.

The speed and precision of their feedback is first of class. If only all VC's would be this transparent.

(We did not get through the needle's eye... but still a valuable process with no waste of time, ghosting or other misguided "dating behavior".)

Although my business wasn’t at the stage that Found Capital could be involved, the feedback and swift responses was very helpful and l look forward to staying in touch with Laurence to partnership once our businesses align.

We've applied to over 200 VCs and angel networks, and the reality is that most simply ignore applications unless they have a strong pre-existing connection. The few that do engage are typically those with a genuine interest.

While our start-up didn’t make it past the screening stage with this particular network, the experience stood out because of the professionalism and transparency shown by Laurence. Unlike many others, who either ghost founders or provide vague, templated rejections, Laurence took the time to provide a clear and thoughtful explanation of why we weren’t the right fit. His communication was direct yet friendly, and it was evident that he respected our time and effort.

Even though we didn’t secure funding, we left the process with valuable insights—something that is far too rare in this industry. If more investor groups operated with this level of clarity and respect for founders, the start-up ecosystem would be much stronger. Highly recommend engaging with them if you’re looking for honest and professional interactions.

Laurence took the time to give feedback - which is quite rare these days. Email communication was timely and very much human... with empathy and care.

I really like Laurence and Found's approach to funding early stage start ups. They didn't end up offering us the cash but progressed us to one of their later stages. I really appreciated the detailed feedback they provided on why they both thought we had a great business but it wasn't for them given what their criteria is. This is something that is challenging as a founder when you (naturally) receive so many nos with not much more than lip service paid to feeding back why. Consistent feedback would have helped us refine our approach and get money faster I believe (which thankfully we now have) - so a change in approach could have a significant impact on the velocity of early stage UK businesses.
