Found Capital Bewertungen 

The flow of the application was professional, balanced and accurate. Deep due diligence but not too deep to be exhaustive. It aligns the most important factors in every business to enable coordinating expectations from first step. This high bar enables efficient time usage for both sides. Moreover, FoundCapital are not fluffing. They are doing what they declare: I got a feedback withing the 10-14 days reply. Most importantly, the feedback, despite not moving forward, was insightful, respectful, and professional.

It was a no for our company but Laurence the founder got back promptly and with clear constructive feedback, a rarity in the VC/investor game! Recommend engaging them.

Whilst we weren't successful, Laurence provided detailed feedback which we can utilise for future. We appreciated the time taken to do this.

After applying for funding I was pleasantly surprised to a) get a response in the timeframes set out and b) received detailed feedback on the team’s decision and factors - something rare to get when fundraising! Thank you for a slick service

I appreciate the incredible feedback Laurence provided to us at Quizarly. We are working on improving our pitch deck and ensuring the platform is investment and investor-ready. Not everyone has the time and kindness to share feedback as Laurence did!

Found Capital’s feedback was clear, specific, and grounded in execution realities. It’s encouraging to see an early-stage syndicate take the time to engage constructively with founders.

Gave us feedback on our business quickly. Highlighted what actions we need to take to match their investment criteria.

Clear communication and process, felt appreciated and took time for provide feedback even though no progression. But this is often rare in the industry so was really appreciated

Laurence and the team are true professionals, with a high level of feedback on my venture that has helped me refine my business in more ways than one.

It's rare that funds pay this level of attention. Clearly they care deeply about founders and venture in its true form.

Found Capital stands out for their professionalism and transparency in the investment process.

Even though we were not a fit for their syndicate this time, they took the time to provide clear and constructive feedback, which is rare in the investment space. Their approach shows genuine interest in helping founders succeed, and their communication was timely and respectful throughout.

Highly recommended for startups looking to engage with a thoughtful and well-organised Angel Syndicate.

Laurence and the team provided real, valuable and personalised advice for our startup. Rare in the VC world

The review process and communication with Found Capital was extremely professional and helpful. It was clear they put a lot of thought into reviewing our company. We look forward to staying in touch with Laurence and team.

At Seascape Aquatech, we are developing the first AI-driven, autonomous robotic oyster farming equipment. We were not selected to receive an investment from Found Capital at this time; they provided a thoughtful and detailed analysis of why we didn't meet their investment fund guidelines. Primarily, we were too capital-intensive ($2.5M), and the development time was too long (2 years) to develop an unproven physical robotic technology. They doubted we could transfer the machine vision technology and telemetry we had developed for our existing land-based tractor for use in the water with a boat.

Our revenue forecasts were not strong enough. We only included the use of our technology on our own farm and three others out of 8,000 globally but failed to convey that once the technology works on a 10-acre plot, it can work everywhere. It could be 30, 300, or 3,000 farms.

We are solely focused on developing our physical robotic technology for oysters. Still, the machines can be adapted for clams, mussels, scallops, kelp, and seaweed. We failed to include any of these revenue drivers in our pro forma.

We also failed to point out that our technology has a dual purpose: for its massive oyster production and lower operating costs, the perfect deep cup oysters can be sold for consumption. In contrast, the other, less-than-perfect oysters can be used to regenerate oyster reefs and clean waterways worldwide.

We agree that developing physical AI robotic technology as a pioneer in a new industry is challenging. Still, in 20 years, these machines will be everywhere, growing low-cost oysters, clams, mussels, scallops, kelp, and seaweed for millions of people and cleaning waterways. We want to be the cornerstone of this emerging technology.

Whilst we didn't move forward with the investment, I found the response and process with Found Capital one of the best in the industry. We received prompt feedback twice on our deck and thoughtful comments and understanding on our proposition.

Definitely worth applying if you're looking to raise funding.

One of the few business’ that give good, personalised reply and feedback, the application process is relatively straight forward and despite my application not being successful, I’m really grateful for the time that went into reviewing and feeding back. Thank you.

As others have said, firstly you get a response (unusual be itself) but also constructive feedback when the answer is 'no'. This doesn't have to be (and wasn't) extensive, but is enough to facilitate a focus on what investors are looking for. Very helpful.

They’re very good at giving feedback that genuinely helps your business, they really take the time to support you. It was worth it send the pitch deck!

The experience with Found Capitalsets the absolute standard that every VC, Angel and Syndicate should follow.

In an industry notorious for the black hole of applications, this firm is a breath of fresh air. We know firms receive thousands of pitches, yet their team consistently provides constructive, actionable feedback; even when passing on a deal.

This level of transparency and specific critique is invaluable. It drastically speeds up the founder's learning and iteration cycle, showing genuine respect for the time and effort spent. They truly treat founders as partners, regardless of the investment decision.

A role model for accountability and human communication in capital funds. Highly recommended based on process and professionalism alone. Thanks Laurence!

Great feedback and responsive. Would highly recommend no matter what stage your business is at.

Good communication throughout the process via a couple of channels. They clearly reviewed the proposal in detail and gave it serious consideration before providing detailed feedback.

The feedback was helpful and they were even kind enough to be more explanatory on one of their points raised.

We did not raise funding from Found, but I would happily work with them in the future based on our interaction.
