Fundraising readiness assessment
Investors run the same audit on every deal: story, traction, market, economics, diligence. This free assessment runs it first — scoring all five on a deterministic 0–100 scale and handing you the gap list while it's still cheap to fix, not three weeks into a partner process.
The five dimensions investors actually audit
Each dimension is worth 20% of the score. Every answer maps to a fixed value — the instrument scores the evidence, not the pitch.
A real Fundraising Readiness result: the banded score, all five dimension scores, and the named gaps to fix before investor contact.
Run the audit before the people with term sheets do
Fundraising readiness fails quietly. The deck gets polished for weeks while the data room stays a scattered folder, the model stays static, and the use of funds stays "18 months of runway." Investors notice in reverse order: the unglamorous dimensions — diligence, economics — are where processes stall after a promising first meeting. This assessment weights all five equally precisely because founders don't.
The scoring is deterministic: "data room: scattered" maps to the same value for every founder, every time. That makes the result a progress meter you can re-run monthly during raise prep — and a shared instrument for co-founders, who frequently discover they'd answer "legal cleanliness" differently. That disagreement is a finding; better to have it now than in a diligence call.
The output is a gap list, and most gaps are documents: a milestone-based use-of-funds plan, a bottoms-up market sizing, a retention evidence summary, an organized data room. That's the paid side of Gixo — the Business workspace generates those briefs from your own uploaded files with claims bound to sources, and the free Data-Room Checklist playbook gets the folder structure right before you spend a credit.
