What Traditional DD Misses
Traditional DD validates past performance. We assess execution capability across 350 validated signals (180 quantitative + 170 qualitative)—powered by the Fundability Intelligence System™ and validated by senior operators.
Readiness Scores
Quantify fundability across 8 dimensions — beyond TRL. See exactly what blocks execution.
Company Archetype
BM, GTM, Scaling, Leadership Archetypes. Understand the scaleup's true nature. Know who they are and what funding paths fit.
Leadership DD
Evaluate team composition, ambition level, execution velocity, and decision-making patterns. Can this leadership scale from €5M to €50M ARR?
GTM Signals
Evaluate go-to-market effectiveness across 6 critical signals: sales cycle, CAC payback, PMF strength, and pipeline quality. Know if their GTM can scale.
Key KPIs
Benchmark metrics against current stage and next stage investor targets. Know if they're fundable now—and ready to scale next.
Capital Stack Fit
Assess equity dilution, debt capacity, and non-dilutive capital opportunities. Is their funding structure optimal for next-stage growth?
Execution Roadmap
Map the path from current state to fundability. Identify critical milestones, priority actions, and execution gates for the next 6-12 months.
Timed Investments, Not Passes
Good team, not ready yet? Give them a 6-month Fix roadmap through the Gate Plan. Re-assess when execution gates close. Turn 'not fundable' into 'fundable in Q3' — and don't lose €3-5M winners to competitors.
After years fixing the gaps between vision and execution, we built ClimeNow — a system that turns truth into investor-grade clarity.
