All participants will walk away with:

  • You’ll get access to a free 1-hour investability assessment in our Circle community.

You’ll learn why investors emphasize returns, how they calculate metrics like IRR, and why market size and scalability matter so much.

More importantly, you’ll discover the indicators that investors look for—speed, scale, severity, traction, founder, and timing—and how you can use them to refine your own strategy.

This isn’t just theory; it’s a practical roadmap to making your business more compelling to capital.
