When seeking to raise capital, it is inevitable that your company is investor-ready. Your future investors will check every small detail of your business and will run a thorough due diligence before even seriously considering saying yes. There can be tons of hidden traps and issues that can come to light in the process, and if you cannot fix them, you can waste several valuable months on that process, and find yourself without investment at the end, also possibly endangering the entire timeline and business cycle of your company. A pre-vc due diligence report can show you the weaknesses or even red flags that you need to manage and fix before sitting down at the table with investors. That way you can eliminate the surprises both to them and to yourself, and avoid them discovering issues that could hinder them in investing in your company. There are several levels of investor readiness, and if you invest some time and resources in being prepared, in the long run it will gain you many more advantages with smoother funding journeys, fewer sleepless nights and more predictability.
