Have questions?
What's the difference between Build, Round Prep, Round Ready, and Grow?
Scale Ready is a pathway, not a single program. Build is the entry point for founders motivated to raise but new to the fundraising world. Round Prep is for founders getting investment-ready ahead of a first or next raise. Round Ready is for founders already in market with investors or about to launch a raise. Grow is for founders with real revenue traction who are ready to scale. Wherever you’re at, there’s a level built for it.
How do I know which stage is right for me?
You don’t have to figure it out alone, and you don’t have to start at Build. Book a call and we’ll talk through your company’s stage, materials, investor experience, and growth constraints together, and point you to the right level.
Do I need to have already pitched investors to apply?
No. Build is designed for founders who haven’t pitched or applied to any fundraising program yet, and are still working toward capital-readiness.
What if my company doesn't have revenue yet?
That’s exactly who Build is for. Pre-revenue and early-revenue founders with early traction signals are welcome to start there.
I already have revenue and traction, is this still for me?
Yes, that’s Grow. It’s built for founders who already have real revenue traction and reasonable product-market fit, where growth is the goal and fundraising is secondary.
What's the difference between Round Prep and Round Ready?
Round Prep is for founders still building their materials and story ahead of a raise, getting investment-ready. Round Ready is for founders already in market with investors or about to launch, closing the round on the best possible terms.
What happens after I book a call?
We start with a real conversation, not a form. We’ll look at your company’s stage, materials, investor experience, and growth constraints, and recommend the right level for where you’re at.
