The earliest stage is where the most expensive mistakes get quietly baked in — a product built before it's validated, a cap table that haunts every future round, a story that doesn't survive contact with a sharp investor. Readiness is about getting the foundations right while they remain cheap to get right, so that everything built on top of them compounds rather than cracks.
We help you establish whether there is a real company here at all, build the first working version, and set the foundations — the early product, the positioning, the basic financial and legal structure, and a credible plan. It draws on Consulting's Innovation and Build groups, scaled honestly to an early-stage budget and pace rather than billed like a corporate engagement.
And if the idea is strong enough, Readiness is also the doorway into Cofoundry — where, instead of merely advising, we co-found and build it with you. Either way, you leave this stage holding something real, not a plan to make something real.
