Market Readiness Audit
You need more than a great idea to get funding.
Make sure you've got what it takes.
Ready to go after funding?
Sharpen your path to market with a Market Readiness Audit.
Whether you're pursuing an SBIR grant or pitching to early-stage investors, one thing is clear. You need a clear, credible path to market. The Market Readiness Audit is a fast, focused engagement that helps assess whether your product, strategy, and materials are strong enough to inspire funder confidence -- and what might need improvement. Led by a senior-level project manager with deep experience in grant-funded programs, go-to-market strategy, and startup execution, this audit helps you identify hidden gaps, sharpen your pitch, and move forward with assurance.
