Startup.Ready.
AI assessment that scores startup readiness across 6 pillars
Startup.Ready. is a startup readiness assessment and development system for early-stage founders. A 20-minute assessment scores your venture across six pillars (Founder, Problem, Market, Business Model, Go-to-Market, Financial), returns a readiness score and a plain-language diagnosis, then assigns the work to close the gaps. Free for founders to try twice.
Features
- Six-Pillar Readiness Diagnostic (live). Every startup is evaluated across six foundational dimensions: Founder, Problem, Market, Business Model, Go-to-Market, and Financial. Each pillar gets its own score and diagnostic breakdown.
- Startup Readiness Score, 0 to 150 (live). A single structured score that captures the overall strength of your startup foundation. Not your idea, not your effort, your clarity.
- Pillar-Level Diagnostics, 0 to 25 each (live). Each pillar score comes with a specific diagnosis: what the foundation currently supports and where it breaks down.
- Gap Routing (live). Your assessment answers trigger flags across the six pillars. Those flags map to specific worksheets, and the platform surfaces your top three priorities. The work holding everything else back, first.
- Worksheet Library, 81 worksheets (live). A full development system, not a list of tips. Every worksheet sits under one of the six pillars, marked core or supporting. Filter by pillar, filter by priority, or browse the whole library. Assigned automatically from your assessment, and available to download at any time.
- Progress Tracking (live). Retake the assessment after doing the work. Track how your readiness profile shifts over time, overall and pillar by pillar.
- Program and Cohort Dashboard (live). Programs and accelerators create a cohort, send one link, and baseline the whole group. See cohort average, pillar averages, progress at every check-in, and which foundations are weakest across the room. Drill into any single founder.
- Mentor and Advisor Dashboard (live). Mentors get structured founder context before the conversation. Overall and pillar scores, strongest and weakest pillars, assigned worksheets, and what the founder has completed. Free for mentors, with full access to all 81 worksheets to assign to any startup they advise.
Use Cases
- Founders going full-time who need to know if their foundation is ready before making the leap
- Accelerator applicants who want to identify structural gaps before reviewers do
- Founders preparing to raise who need clarity on unit economics, market definition, and model before pitching
- Founders feeling busy but stuck who cannot locate where the real problem is
- Mentors and advisors who want a shared diagnostic to anchor founder conversations
- Incubators and accelerators that need a consistent readiness signal to baseline and track cohorts
- University entrepreneurship programs running structured diagnostics on student ventures
Comments
I spent fifteen years teaching and consulting with founders, several hundred of them, and I kept watching the same thing happen. Capable people, working hard, building on a foundation nobody had ever examined with them. They rarely failed loudly. They faded. When I went back through my notes the pattern held: an untested assumption sitting in a pillar the founder was not looking at, quietly deciding the outcome months before anyone noticed. Startup.Ready. is that examination, made repeatable. My dissertation research was on entrepreneurial learning as a process, and the finding that stuck with me is that the reasoning good founders do can be developed. It does not have to come from an accelerator seat or a well-connected friend. So I built an assessment that finds the weak spot and 81 worksheets that close it. The first two runs are free, because a founder without a network needs this more than a founder with one.
