VENTURE BUSINESS PLAN VALUATION SCORING SERVICETM
I. INTRODUCTION
Welcome to our Business Plan Venture Valuation Scoring Service for high growth technology companies. The goal of the Scoring Service is to provide the Entrepreneur valuable third party feed-back on their business plans. It is designed for entrepreneurs who need an independent assessment of their business plans suitability for investment from the Venture Capital and technology focused Angel investors. The system is designed to give entrepreneurs an overview of their business plans in an efficient, standardized manner. The Scoring Service design has been patterned from The Kauffman Foundations generally accepted valuation model. In practice, the Service models individual plans, from an approximation of the rules that are generally applied by the venture capital community to qualify business plans for investment. This type of Scoring Service helps the entrepreneur refine and develop greater precision in the fundraising process for his/her venture. Outlined below, are the scoring methods of the reviewers, to allow an entrepreneur to see how their plan will be judged, by a typical investor. The Service will assign a score with detailed positive feedback, as well as constructive criticism and improvement recommendations.
The Scoring Service is not designed to be the final word on whether or not an Entrepreneur will receive funding. The scores and comments given for each plan are meant as indicators for how well a plan may be received, at a given time, when shown to investors. The comments and rating should be regarded as useful indicators for use in an Entrepreneurs campaign for funding. Low scores suggest a need to re-think and re-write parts of a plan in order to present the business in the most favorable light. A high score suggests that a plan adequately meets reviewers' standards, which reflect the current thinking in the investment community.
