# Pressure test the company before investors do. A SCALEUP.report investment readiness check is a fixed-scope commercial 360° assessment of a growth company, commissioned by its own founder or CEO, from €500. Founders and CEOs can commission SCALEUP.report before fundraising, a transaction, or a major scaling phase. It objectively tests priorities and current plans, reveals scalability gaps, and shows how investors are likely to interpret the business. ## Build a more credible investment story Connect market opportunity, traction, scalability, leadership capacity, and capital needs into one evidence-backed story. ## Rehearse the hard questions Identify weak evidence, inconsistent metrics, likely objections, and the questions most likely to surface in investor meetings. ## Enter the data room prepared Map missing evidence, fragile assumptions, ownership gaps, and operational weaknesses before diligence begins. ## Understand the company's risk narrative See which issues may influence valuation, terms, milestones, governance, or the perceived need for investor intervention. ## Align the leadership team Create one objective view of priorities, plan quality, execution dependencies, and the improvements that matter most. ## Improve the business-not only the presentation Convert findings into a focused 90-day plan with owners, evidence milestones, and review cadence. ### Independent preparation-not a guaranteed investor endorsement. The report helps leadership validate priorities, challenge current plans, expose scaling constraints, and address weaknesses earlier. Credibility still depends on independent judgment, evidence discipline, and transparent limitations. - Objective priority and current-plan cross-check - Scalability and execution-gap map - Investor meeting and due-diligence rehearsal - Priority fixes before the next investor interaction ## Make scaling with a clearer view. Investors can scope a decision assessment. Founders and CEOs can validate priorities, plans, scalability, and investment readiness before outreach or due diligence. ## Reference (not shown on the page) ### What the readiness check actually examines. Every SCALEUP.report runs the same twelve SCALEUP.report dimensions. Six of them carry most of what a founder or CEO is asked to defend in an investor process. #### Revenue & GTM Whether the go-to-market system can produce predictable, efficient growth beyond founder-led or opportunistic selling: ICP clarity, pipeline quality and conversion, sales capacity and channel fit, forecast discipline. #### Pricing & unit economics Whether growth creates or destroys economic value: pricing architecture and willingness to pay, contribution margin quality, CAC, payback and sales efficiency, expansion economics. #### Customer evidence & PMF The strength and breadth of customer pull: concentration and cohort quality, retention and expansion, use-case depth and switching cost, referenceability. #### Organisation & talent Whether the organisation can absorb the next stage: organisation design and role clarity, critical capability gaps, hiring and performance systems, accountability and culture. #### Leadership systems How leadership actually decides: decision rights and operating rhythm, founder and executive alignment, conflict and escalation patterns, bench strength and succession risk. #### Capital efficiency Whether capital is deployed against the highest-value constraint: planning and forecasting quality, runway and scenario visibility, resource allocation discipline, burn quality. The remaining six ‐ market & category, product strategy, technology, data & AI, operations, governance & risk, and investment & value creation ‐ are set out in full on the SCALEUP.report methodology page. ### What the founder actually receives. The same artefact an investor would commission, addressed to the person who has to act on it. #### In every level, from SCALEUP.report SIGNAL (€500) - A proceed / verify / pause signal against the twelve dimensions - Top risks and upside levers, ranked - An evidence and unknowns map ‐ what is proven, what is merely asserted - The priority questions an investor is most likely to ask next - An IC-ready decision brief you can read before they do #### From SCALEUP.report FULL 360° (€2,500) upward - Senior interviews and a direct challenge of your own evidence - The investment thesis stated back to you, with its failure modes - Red flags, dependencies and unknowns named explicitly - A prioritised 90-day plan with owners, milestones and review cadence - A leadership readout for the founding team and board SCALEUP.report FULL 360° PLUS (€4,500) adds a consent-based leadership and psychometric layer.
