Venture Readiness Assessment

Walk the validation-stage ladder and the seven venture milestones. You get a stage and a gap list — no account required until you continue into a live challenge call.

Validation stage

Choose the highest stage you can evidence today. This is a self-check, not a scored application.

Venture milestones

Tick every milestone you already hold. Gaps are what this stage typically still needs.

Your result

Stage 0 — Idea only — assumptions untested

No gaps against the milestones expected at this stage. You can still carry this into the pre-screen when a challenge call is open.

Carry-over fills the pre-screen current-stage field only. Other answers stay yours to complete.
