Are you ready to raise? Be honest.
Fifteen statements across five areas investors examine. Answer for where you are today, not where you hope to be. Nothing is sent to us unless you choose to apply.
Story and market
I can explain the problem, the customer and why now in two minutes.
I can name the real alternatives customers use today and why they choose us.
I can size the market bottom-up, not just quote a top-down figure.
Traction and metrics
I track core metrics every month (revenue, growth, retention or equivalent).
I can show paying or repeat users, not just sign-ups.
I know my unit economics, even if they are not good yet.
Financials
I have a financial model with assumptions I can defend.
I know my monthly burn and my runway to the month.
I can justify the amount I am raising line by line.
Legal and cap table
The company is incorporated with filings and tax compliance up to date.
My cap table is clean, with founder vesting and IP assignment in place.
There are no unresolved disputes, unclear IP or informal promises of equity.
Process and people
I have a researched investor list with a reason for each name.
I have a deck, a data room and answers to standard diligence questions.
I can give fundraising real time for months without the business suffering.
