Why These Questions?
Assessment Framework
How Does it Work?

We ask these questions to ensure that we can provide the best possible support to ventures that are at the right stage of development. 

We can assess your venture’s readiness for investment and growth with our model.

This allows us to understand your revenue, customer traction, and funding needs, while also identifying potential challenges and opportunities for scaling.

We can determine whether our board, partners and network of investors are the right fit for your business, ensuring that we focus our resources on ventures that are well-positioned to succeed.

Viability, Validation, Vision

Viability: Is the venture financially and operationally stable with a clear path to growth? We assess revenue, customer traction, and funding readiness to determine if the business is in a position to scale.

Validation: Has the venture demonstrated market validation? This includes proof of concept through paying customers, Letters of Intent, or other market indicators that show there is demand for the product or service.

Vision:  Does the venture have a clear, compelling, and scalable plan for future growth? We look at the business’s long-term goals, strategy for scaling, and the leadership team’s ability to execute on their vision.

Why We Have a Fee

  • Commitment to Growth: It ensures ventures are serious about engaging with us and their own success.
  • Sustained Operations: The fee supports our efforts and operational costs, enabling us to focus on providing high-value services.
  • Efficient Filtering: It discourages those who are not yet ready, saving time for ventures and our team alike.
  • Mutual Investment: Demonstrates the venture’s confidence in their business and belief in our ability to deliver value.

This approach helps maintain a high standard of collaboration and maximises the chances of success for ventures we engage with.
