A good technology product also needs a strong story, roadmap and execution plan. Use this checklist to see where you stand before you start fundraising conversations.
The product and the technology
- Product & technology roadmap — what you'll build next, in what order, and why.
- MVP & development plan — what exists today, what's in progress, and what it takes to finish it.
- Technology architecture documentation — how the system is built, so a technical reviewer can assess it quickly.
The story and the numbers
- Business / product presentation — a clear deck that explains the problem, the product, the market and the team.
- Investment readiness — your company, cap table and key documents are organised and easy to share.
- Financial & technology planning — costs, revenue assumptions and the technology spend behind them.
- Fund utilisation plan — how the money you raise will be used, and which milestones it gets you to.
The process
- Investor communication — a consistent way to share updates, answer questions and follow up.
- Strategic network access — a list of the right investors and the warm introductions you can reach.
- Fundraising strategy — how much to raise, from whom, on what timeline.
