KICK III
focuses on the startup stage at a point when it seems like things are functioning. You have identified your growth path and seek seed investments in the next 6 to 12 months for your scale. So you need to prepare and lay the basis for your investment-readiness. Here you will be able to take a good look at your processes, operations, financials and team. What works, what does not; how to render your operations self-standing and sustainable so you can actually focus on investment-raising and strategic growth in the next period. At this stage, you will further develop your leadership and the one of your team. You will plan or professionalize further your advisory and do a lot of 365 finances.
