I got this far. What should I do next? A roadmap test
Nine questions about where the product, users, revenue, team, runway and fundraising stand. The test names your stage and gives a short roadmap with the guides and tools for each step.
What are the stages of an early-stage startup?
Validate, launch and learn, prove traction, get investor-ready, run the raise, deploy and report. Each has one job; doing the next stage’s job early wastes time and money.
When is a startup ready to raise?
When there is evidence investors can verify: users who return, someone who pays, a team that covers the gaps and a round tied to milestones. The Readiness Score measures the eight signals.
What if runway is under three months?
Cut costs this week, talk to existing investors or angels about a bridge, and sell what you can. Fundraising from zero takes longer than three months.
How to use the roadmap
Do the steps in order for 30 days, then retake the test. The stage should move.
Questions founders ask
Is this personalised to my sector?
No, it is stage-based. Sector benchmarks are in SeedScope’s valuation.
I am a solo founder. Is that a problem?
Investors ask who covers your gaps. The roadmap adds a step for it.
Does it store my answers?
No.
