A free assessment tool that scores your startup's readiness across six key pillars.
Most early-stage founders are not failing because they lack effort. They fail because they lack clarity. They build before validating the problem. They raise before understanding their unit economics. They commit serious time and capital to a foundation they have never examined.
Startup.Ready. is a startup readiness and decision intelligence platform. It scores early-stage startups across six foundational pillars, surfaces the weak and untested assumptions underneath, and routes founders to the specific work that closes those gaps.
Built by Dr. Shaun P. Digan, PhD in Entrepreneurship and 15 years of working directly with early-stage founders.
-
Six-Pillar Readiness Diagnostic. Every startup is evaluated across six foundational dimensions: Founder, Problem, Market, Business Model, Go-to-Market, and Financial.
-
Startup Readiness Score. A single structured score that captures the overall strength of your startup foundation. Not your idea, not your effort, your clarity.
-
Pillar-Level Diagnostics. Each pillar score comes with a specific diagnosis: what the foundation currently supports and where it breaks down.
-
Gap Routing. Your assessment answers trigger flags across the six pillars. Those flags map to specific worksheets to close the gaps
