Why this GTM session exists:

Many founders have a good product, early customers, and even a pipeline, yet investors still hesitate. Investors fund evidence of repeatable demand.

A startup becomes fundable when key things are true:

Customers immediately recognise themselves as the buyer and live the problem
The problem feels urgent enough to act now
Revenue can grow without founder-dependent selling

If any of these are missing, raising capital becomes difficult, no matter how strong the pitch

sounds.

In this session, we will show how investors actually evaluate growth and help you understand whether your startup is investable today.

Before the session (important)

Please run the free GTM evaluation tools:

Conversion Clarity

Revenue Engine

Can revenue grow without founder-dependent selling?

Bring your scores with you. We will use them during the session.

Who should attend

• Pre seed and seed founders

• Founders preparing to raise

• Startups with traction but slow fundraising

• Operators responsible for growth or revenue

What will happen during the session?

This is an interactive working session.

You can share your current growth challenges, or ideally, complete the free pre-

evaluation beforehand, and bring your results.

We will review real cases in the room and discuss how to diagnose and resolve the

issues identified in the evaluation, from an investor perspective, and with operator

experience.

You will see how problems in demand, messaging, or revenue structure are identified

and what practical steps can improve fundability.

What you will leave with

Every attendee will walk away with:

1. Your Evaluation Scores (out of 100)

4. Revenue Engine
