A Two-Hour Working Readiness Check for Founders
A practical founder workshop where you use a simple readiness spreadsheet to test whether your company is ready for investor, partner or board conversations.
Most founders ask, “Am I ready to raise?” too late.
This 2-hour working session gives founders a simple way to check readiness before investor conversations. Participants will bring their laptops, copy a live readiness spreadsheet, score their company across the core areas investors usually test, and leave with a clear view of what is strong, what is weak, and what must be fixed first.
This is a working session.
