Startup Series

Tailored specifically for fast-moving, high-growth startups and scale-ups. This collection of resources is widely embraced by entrepreneurs, accelerators, incubators, business schools, national innovation agencies, and innovation clusters. 

Scale Up Map

The Scale-Up Map enables you to map out your growth strategy in a single view.  It helps startups to look beyond the now and build a short-, medium- and long-term growth strategy. On a single page, you will be able to map out  and keep track of the key value drivers for your startup, and align your team, board, and investors around your scale-up plan.

The Long-Term Funding Roadmap

As its name suggests, the Long-Term Funding Roadmap helps you develop a long-term capital strategy for your startup. It’ll walk you through the different categories of investors and help you identify ways in which you can secure long-term growth capital.

Your Funding Plan

Your Funding Plan is a great companion to the Long-Term Funding Roadmap as it helps break it down into a short-term action funding plan. It helps you close your funding round faster and smarter, as well as segment your (many) investor prospects.

6X Company Building Canvas

As a leader of a startup, it is often hard to get everyone aligned in a quick and visual way on how to build the company. The 6X Company Building Canvas solves this problem. It provides a shared understanding of the startup’s growth issues and helps identify what key areas you should focus on. It is also a great way of reporting your weekly progress to the team and the board.

The Investor Map

This is your investor segmentation tool that helps you segment your investor prospects and select the right investor for you based on financial and strategic fit.

The Accelerator Map

With thousands of incubators, accelerators, and support programs out there, it can be hard to identify if they are a right fit for your startup. The Accelerator Map helps you to evaluate different accelerator programs according to strategic fit and value output.

Rocketship Canvas

This canvas provides a structured framework to effectively communicate growth ambitions, articulate plans for rapid scaling, and develop a clear growth story for your scale-up venture.

The Funding Journey – Deliverables

By outlining elements such as financial projections, funding strategy alignment with business objectives, investor targeting and engagement, and risk mitigation plans, the Funding Journey Canvas empowers organizations to work strategically towards securing the necessary capital for sustainable growth.

Starship Canvas

Designing a clear strategy for an early-stage startup can be difficult. Early-stage product development, no clear product-market fit, limited funding and few solid KPI’s; this can be hard. Articulate and communicate clear strategies – and get buy-in from staff, board, key partners and investors.
