Funding Readiness

Different Capital Providers Evaluate Different Evidence

Different Capital Providers Evaluate Different Evidence

A company may be assessed very differently depending on who is providing the capital.

Venture investors typically focus on:

  • Team
  • Market size
  • Traction
  • Scalability
  • Business model
  • Return potential

Grant funders typically focus on:

  • Program fit
  • Project need
  • Feasibility
  • Activities and milestones
  • Measurable outcomes
  • Budget
  • Delivery capacity

Understanding the decision-maker helps companies present the right evidence at the right time.
