Startup Risk Scoring

When investors are determing the best place to allocate their capital, it’s likely they’re comparing different asset classes from cash to low-risk treasury bills to stocks, bonds, venture, private equity, and alternatives like art and cars. So, if you want your business to stand out from these other asset classes you have to not only show a higher risk-adjusted return, but also that you’re capable enough to realize the vision set forth in your pitch deck and financial model.

This is a risk scoring framework we developed to better understand how we think about startups from approximately 20 different dimensions. If you use it or have suggestions for other dimensions, please let us know and we’ll update the underlying framework.

We hope it helps you build a better business.
