Round Ready Academy

What you will learn

• Understand how institutional investors actually underwrite a Series A or Series B round — and why evidence beats enthusiasm at the IC
• Use The Opagio 12 as the structured language for the evidence bundle that sits behind every priced round
• Surface the most common asset-base blind spots at £1M+ ARR before first partner meetings
• Build a Series A asset register organised against a 47-question institutional diligence corpus
• Design the four-layer metrics tree Series A and Series B investors compute regardless of what you present
• Navigate the bridge-versus-extension-versus-debt-versus-equity decision tree without signalling distress
• Mount a comps-led valuation defence when a term sheet comes in materially below the range
• Present the Series B efficiency story that clears the post-2021 Rule of 40, NRR, and payback bar
• Identify qualifying IP-backed lending collateral and work with UK bank programmes (NatWest, HSBC, RBS)
• Execute a disciplined 90-day round-ready plan with weekly deliverables across evidence, gap-closing, and narrative
