If I hadn't taken the Investment Readiness Process I am not sure if I would have had the confidence in myself to talk to investors. After the Investment Readiness Process we now have a professional board in the company and a few angel investors who have invested in the company. / Pia Nilsson, the CEO and founder of Rolf AB

Although we are well experienced business and tech executives, we chose to do an Investment Readiness Process in order to align our expectations and personal goals before meeting with potential investors. Flow Factory closed a successful seed round and we are now growing with small customers as well as big ones like Siemens.

The Investment Readiness Process helped us in several ways in the start-up phase of our company building. The quantitative aspect helped us to understand our situation financially and how the different financing options and possible outcomes affect us as owners over a longer horizon. The more qualitative parts, together with Björn's in-depth knowledge, also helped us as a management team to bet...

IRP was eye-opener for us! It wasn't just about investment. Before the process we imagined that we knew what we wanted to do. But until everything turned to numbers and graphs, we could not get a clear idea of the amount of work that needed to be done to become a successful business and how much investment was needed to do it. It paved the way for us for the next five years! In my opinion, IRP ...

IRP gave us an understanding of how investors think and calculate. A very complete tool for valuing companies. Our IRP Instructor, Björn Larsson, is very experienced and you learn a lot along the way. Can highly recommend. In addition, it gives investors an understanding of the valuation.

The reason why we chose to use the Investment Readiness Process by Beels® was that founders when they meet with investors, need to build credibility. You need to be able to explain what their money will be used for and what kind of value that will add to the company.

It is easy to get carried away in either selling the company or getting money into the company and then you are in the hands of the investors. So the Investment Readiness Process really prepares the entrepreneur for this process and make them able to control and be part of the process. Not only just coming along. Some time after the IRP I decided to sell my company and did so successfully.

All entrepreneurs are good at some things, but not everything. The key to success is finding good partnerships. Part of building a company, which all entrepreneurs must at least partially learn, is to understand how customers and investors think. If you want to attract investors, you must have a realistic plan and be able to both describe and follow it. Although I have been a lawyer and entrepr...

In our opinion, the Investment Readiness Process is the best kickstart you can get on knowledge on the capital raising process before an investment round. You analyze and plan both the practical preparations and how the company can be ready to raise external capital in an efficient way.

The investment readiness process

The Investment Readiness Process is the most widely spread standardised, preparation process for raising external venture capital in the Nordics. More than 200 startups and scaleups from Sweden, Finland, Norway and Iceland have been IRP Certified and the IRP is used and approved by almost all incubators and accelerators in the Nordics. The IRP is a copyright-protected method that has been developed by Beels Consulting AB based on theories and practice in combination with systematised and in-depth reflection regarding external funding processes and exit negotiations. The aim is to provide knowledge and methodology to founders intending to finance their company’s development through equity, loans or grants from external, financial investors.
