I worked for this company for 8th, 9th and 10th, I think. For two years, I was working with this company. I had joined some 150 odd people, I think.

Because all of this thought process was in my mind. All of my relationships, all of my friendships.

Because I thought, who wants to study? I want to become a crorepati. That is what I'm born to become and all of that.

Hi, welcome to Fund Enable's course on Is Your Business Funding Ready? I am Vikrant Pothnis, and through this course, I'm going to help you find out if you are indeed ready to raise funds. Founders often ask me, is this the right time for me to raise funds? I'm going to share with you the advice that I give them. Capital raising is not just about timing, stage, or the sector. It has a lot to do with the intrinsic elements of a business that investors typically look for. These elements include the scalability of your business, value proposition, the kind of moats you are building, and more. Evaluating your business for these elements will answer the question of whether you are ready to raise capital. We at FundEnable have created a tool to help you gauge your funding readiness based on 8 parameters. These 8 parameters are on every investor's evaluation radar. Throughout this course, I will explain how to use this tool and together we will evaluate your company's funding readiness. Let's dive right into it.

Throughout this course, I will explain how to use this tool and together we will evaluate your company's funding readiness. Let's dive right into it. So now what is the outcome of this exercise? First, you get a snapshot of what strengths and weaknesses from a funding perspective in one frame. For example, if your team box is empty, you need to put together a core team before approaching investments. Second, you can discuss this matrix with your prospective investors and mentors and get their feedback. Based on this feedback, you can create a target matrix and work towards achieving the target. Quite often, it happens that investors are expecting high traction. For example, you have 100 paid users, but your investors expect 1000.

Quite often, it happens that investors are expecting high traction. For example, you have 100 paid users, but your investors expect 1000. This means that you will have to recalibrate your target proof of concept box to reflect the expected traction.
