The InvestAbility Assessment Program (IAP) is a proven framework, developed in conjunction with the Nashville Entrepreneur Center (NEC), one of the most innovative and forward-thinking entrepreneur centers in the US. In December of 2025, Pitchbook released new rankings, and Nashville came in #1 nationwide for startup ecosystem growth from 2019-2025.
The resulting “Are You Investable?” (AYI) program is already now battle-tested by scores of entrepreneurs and business founders and is currently moving steadily into more founder / funder US markets and ecosystems. The programmatic approach and the founder educational models built into AYI are singularly unique, vastly improving risk management for founders and their potential investors or backers of all types, systematically evaluating both:
Are You Investable? assesses these two core tracks separately, then merges the results in order to highlight each venture’s true strengths and gaps. Using AI, the program not only sharpens the founder’s pitch for investors, but also quantifies the traits that most often define winning ventures.
Our system clearly saves significant time, money and frustration by providing a quantum leap in clarity between founders, advisors, and investors alike.
In today’s fast-paced investment landscape, the gaps in intelligence, market or industry changes, and even “boilerplate” due diligence handling, can at times stop investment in an otherwise promising new venture.
Now there’s a chance to dig deeper, in advance, to better quantify the new business product or service potential, and more accurately identify the true risks. We bridge these common gaps, and better prepares founders by:
Assess the founder and the proposed team’s credibility and long-term potential, review prior experiences and career backgrounds of the team, and investigate their collective ability to actually execute the plan and to create a viable, profitable enterprise.
Examine the founders’ proposed financial structure, early and extended projections, and specific reasons for the presented forecasts. Bring in fractional CFO analysis where warranted and review the spending plan and timetable for maximum capital efficiency.
Evaluate how well your product or solution aligns with marketplace demands for change or improvement, define and quantify the specific, realistic addressable market and recognizing industry trends or changes which may affect market success.
Assess the Go-To-Market plan — specifically in communication, marketing and sales – identifying “exactly where the customers are” for the product or service (B2C, B2B, B2B2C, or other channels), the true cost of customer acquisition and sales channels processes.
Review the entire product or service operations planning, procurement and supply chain issues or concerns, and test the assumptions of the proposed revenue model, including pricing strategies, marketing and sales activities, plus overall sustainability and growth.
Identify the company’s ability to grow the revenue and operations, expand into secondary or parallel markets, scale the product or service efficiently, and grow continuously within a relatively fixed cost environment allowing aggressive expansion and sustainable scaling.
