## Phase 1: Fundraising Readiness Assessment

### 8-Signal Quick Health Check

Score each 0-2 (0 = not ready, 1 = partially, 2 = ready):

| Signal | Question | Score |
|--------|----------|-------|
| Traction | Do you have measurable growth metrics? | /2 |
| Market | Can you articulate a $1B+ market bottoms-up? | /2 |
| Team | Do you have a founding team that can execute? | /2 |
| Product | Is there a working product or clear prototype? | /2 |
| Story | Can you explain the opportunity in 60 seconds? | /2 |
| Unit Economics | Do you know CAC, LTV, margins (or reasonable projections)? | /2 |
| Use of Funds | Do you have a clear 18-month plan for the capital? | /2 |
| Timing | Is now the right time to raise (runway, market, traction)? | /2 |

**Score interpretation:**
- 14-16: Ready to raise. Start immediately.
- 10-13: Almost ready. Fix gaps in 2-4 weeks, then launch.
- 6-9: Not ready. Build more traction first. Raising now will damage your reputation.
- 0-5: Too early. Focus on product and initial customers.
