THE RIGHT FIT

Does this sound familiar?

You want to raise money, but your numbers, evidence and supporting documents are scattered—and you are not sure whether funding is the right next step. Readiness is not a promise of funding. It is about doing the preparation so you can have more credible conversations and spot gaps sooner.

WHAT YOUR R7,500 BUILDS TOWARD

Not more information. A practical set of business assets.

These five workstreams give you something to apply, test and improve in your own business. The specific deliverables depend on the work you complete.

01

Funding-fit assessment

Decide whether investment suits your stage and growth model.

02

Business model and unit economics review

Identify which numbers matter and where your assumptions need work.

03

Data-room checklist

Organise the evidence an investor or accelerator may ask to review.

04

Funding story and use-of-funds draft

Connect the capital request to measurable milestones.

05

Targeting and follow-up tracker

Build a disciplined approach to relevant funding conversations.

THE TRANSFORMATION

Make the next move with a clearer system.

A gap assessment, due-diligence checklist, assumptions-based funding narrative and practical investor outreach plan.

This is a target output of the exercises, not a promise of financial results.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE

Questions worth asking

Does this programme guarantee funding?

No. FIT does not guarantee introductions, investor selection or investment.

Is this only for venture-backed startups?

No. The exercises can help you examine whether equity investment fits your business and consider alternative financing paths.

Do I need audited financials?

Requirements depend on the investor and business stage. You will build a document checklist, not receive a blanket compliance certification.
