Jim quickly identified a pattern of challenges. Due to there being no formal investment readiness process, there was consistently a large gap in founders understanding of the investment readiness process. This was impacted further from a lack of strategic financial planning due to the inability for founders to access the right financial advice that a CFO can provide at such a vital stage in their journey.
