How To Go From "Interesting" To Investable

Hi ,

Having a great mission isn’t enough anymore. Investors want traction, financial clarity, and scalable business models.

Securing investment in 2025 means aligning impact with profitability. The startups getting funded are the ones that can prove:

🚀 What investors are prioritising: 

✅ A clear problem & scalable solution 
✅ Market traction—paying customers, pilots, or strong demand
✅ A viable financial model—anyone can draw a hockey stick, few can actually deliver
✅ A resilient, capable team that can execute and adapt

🚨 What kills investment potential? 

🔻 Over-relying on mission storytelling instead of solid execution
🔻 No go-to-market strategy—investors want repeatable sales models
🔻 Weak financial planning—showing no clear path to revenue

🔍 How can founders stand out? 

✅ Demonstrate clear revenue potential. Grants alone won’t cut it.
✅ Showcase early traction. Pilots, paying customers, and partnerships matter.
✅ Do reverse due diligence on investors. Founders should ensure their investors bring value beyond capital.
