Karen Rands shares the 'inside secret' to her business venture review process. For over a decade she used this proprietary method for assessing the risk of investing in startup and early stage entrepreneur business opportunities for the angel investors in her angel investor group, Network of Business & Angel Investors. Using this approach, Karen's team creates a report to share their findings and insights with a recommendation of:

Red Light (major flaws and impediments to success),
Yellow Light (fundamentals are strong but key aspects are weak and need work in order to increase odds of long term success),
Green Light (well prepared with strong understanding of the market and how they will generate profit).

Entrepreneurs and Investors have found this service very valuable as a way to save time and money in the quest to create wealth from the success of a startup. It costs time and money to raise capital, regardless of the method. Entrepreneurs that are unaware of the flaws in their business model can spend precious time and money applying, traveling, & pitching investors only to receive rejection, or raise just enough money to encourage them, but not enough to succeed.
Investors sometimes get caught up in the excitement of an entrepreneur's vision leading to 'blinders' to the fatal flaws, leading to a full loss of their investment as that company fails to raise all the capital they need or never reach the expected milestones to produced the desired return on investment. For investors that are busy running their own business or working in a leadership role in a corporation, time is even more valuable than money. They may be considering 3-5 deals at any given time and this process helps them save time in identifying the red flags that could indicate if a deal contains obstacles to their business success, allowing them to focus their due diligence efforts only on the deals most likely to succeed.

Karen reviews and explains the key elements of the summary report created from interviewing the Founder and reviewing the company business plan, exec summary, pitch deck, financial forecast and offering terms.

Key categories of the report and explained here are:
Overall packaging and presentation of information
Accuracy & Currency
Target Market & Market Positioning
Unique Selling Proposition
Competition & Barrier to Entry
Traction
Management & Advisory Board
Investment Structure and ROI
Conclusion (Red, Yellow, Green light for moving forward)
