Are You Actually Ready to Raise?

Nine questions. An honest score. Built for founders approaching institutional and family office capital in the GCC and EMEA.

Part 1 of 2

Tell us what you're building

Context questions — not scored, but essential for your personalised checklist.

Q1. What sector?

Q2. Where are you based?

Jurisdiction matters for our mandate decisions.

Q3. What stage are you at?

Q4. How much are you looking to raise, and what instrument?

e.g. "$3M SAFE" or "£1M SEIS/EIS" or "Not sure yet"

Part 2 of 2

How ready are you to raise?

Five scored questions. Yes = 2 pts · Partial = 1 pt · No = 0 pts. Maximum 10.

Q5. Do you have a deck that leads with the problem, not the product?

Why this matters: Allocators decide in the first three slides whether to keep reading. Product-first decks get closed.

Q6. Is your financial model bottom-up with visible assumptions?

Why this matters: Top-down TAM slides signal you haven't thought about your actual wedge. Allocators want cohort-level economics.

Q7. Can you name three reasons a well-funded competitor can't replicate you in 24 months?

Why this matters: "First mover" isn't a moat. Regulatory position, proprietary data, or embedded distribution are.

Q8. Do you have a written investor pipeline with stage and next action per name?

Why this matters: Founders who treat the raise as a series of ad-hoc meetings close 3× slower than those who run a structured process.

Q9. Is your round structure (instrument, valuation, size) anchored to a comparable transaction?

Why this matters: A valuation based on ambition rather than evidence is the single fastest way to lose sophisticated allocators.
