What We Evaluate

Our proprietary scoring system analyzes how effectively you communicate your positioning across every dimension investors care about.

Team Risk

Does your team cover critical areas: sales, operations, supply chain, marketing, and prior exits?

Recruiting Risk

Can you attract top talent? Have you demonstrated the ability to build strong teams?

Sales Risk

Do you have a bulletproof go-to-market strategy and proven sales execution?

Market Risk

Is your target market large enough to justify investment and deliver 10X+ ROI?

Funding Risk

What's your runway? Can you reach milestones before needing the next round?

Short-term Competitive Risk

How differentiated are you from existing players? What's your defensibility?

Long-term Competitive Risk

As you scale, can competitors replicate your approach? Do you have lasting advantages?

Product Quality Risk

Have you proven you can build high-quality products? What's your prototype status?

Timing & Execution Risk

Is your product too early or too late? Can you execute within the window of opportunity?

What You Receive

A comprehensive analysis that transforms uncertainty into actionable intelligence.

Composite Risk Score

Your overall score on our 1-5 scale, calculated from weighted averages across all 9 risk dimensions, benchmarked against 600+ companies.

Investor Type Targeting

Based on your score and profile, we identify which investor types are most likely to fund you: angels, micro VCs, seed funds, or tier-1 VCs.

Geographic Recommendations

Specific guidance on which markets have the highest capital appetite and risk tolerance for your company profile and stage.

Risk Mitigation Roadmap

Actionable recommendations to improve your weakest dimensions before investing in a full roadshow engagement.

Why Start With the SRE?

The industry golden rule: expect to spend 10% of what you're raising on fundraising. For a $1M raise, that's $100K in professional fees, travel, time, and opportunity cost.

The SRE is designed to answer the critical question before you make that investment: Is your company fundraising-ready?

  • No pre-approval required—available to all companies
  • Data-driven insights from 600+ company evaluations
