Fundability Assessment

1. What Fundability Really Means

Investors do not fund pitch decks. They fund verified numbers, enforceable rights, and management teams that respond fast when diligence digs in. Fundability is the gap between the story you tell and the evidence you can prove. If that gap is wide, your raise drags or reprices. If it is tight, capital shows up on schedule and on terms you can live with.

2. Where Capital Raises Break Before They Start

• Unreconciled Financials – Historical numbers do not tie to bank statements or tax filings.
• Loose Cap Table – Missing option ledgers, side letters hiding preferences.
• Data Room Chaos – Files mislabeled, multiple versions, missing signatures.
• Model Fragility – One input change blows the forecast or flips cash flow sign.
• Regulatory Blind Spots – Licenses pending, compliance logs incomplete.
• Commercial Claims Without Evidence – Pipeline listed as revenue. Investors walk.

3. What Our Fundability Assessment Tests

• Financial Model Review(logic trace, scenario stress, linkage to historical actuals).
• Source Data Tie-Out(GL vs. bank, tax, invoices; revenue recognition sanity check).
• Cap Table & Security Review(convertibles, warrants, liquidation stack, change-of-control traps).
• Legal & Contract Pack Scan(material agreements list, expiries, consent risk).
• Operational KPIs(unit economics proof, cohort data, churn math where relevant).
• Governance Hygiene(board minutes, policy gaps, related-party exposure).
• Data Room Build Score(structure, naming, permissions, update cadence).

4. Scoring Framework Investors Understand

We score across six pillars. Each pillar 0 to 5. Weighted by deal type (growth equity, project finance, M&A sell-side, debt raise). Weighted scores roll into a 100-point Fundability Score.

• Financial Quality
• Growth Proof / Revenue Quality
• Governance & Legal Readiness
• Data Room Hygiene
• Model Credibility
• Risk Flags (Regulatory, ESG, Litigation)

9. Quick FAQ

Is this an audit?

No. We are not issuing an audit opinion. We test for investor-grade credibility, consistency, and support.

Will investors rely on your score?

They will still run their own diligence. Our score helps you fix obvious problems before they show up.

Can you help run the raise after the assessment?

Yes. Our capital advisory and placement teams can move from assessment into mandate if approved by you and the funding parties.
