Dimensions
Dimensions which different milestones are mapped to, covering the most important themes for fundraising and scaling
Milestones
Typical milestones to have in place ahead of each funding round to secure financing and support scale
Secure grants and public funding throughout the project, considering the long time to first revenue
Demonstrate technological readiness, conduct R&D, and establish intellectual property moats, such as patents
Engage key commercial partners and customers, like large governmental or industrial off-takers
Prioritize investments based on proven technology development and indication of commercial traction through, for example, offtakes
Support founders in early stages by, for example, helping them find relevant grants to apply for or by providing access to valuable connections and customers
Set and track milestones for portfolio companies
Early public funding is critical for enablement (grants and guarantees) – stay close to the founders, understand the potential applications, and drive bold policies to support them
We reviewed more than 4.000 companies to ensure the bricks reflect successful scaling journeys
