The Fast Track to Funding
The "holy grail" of entrepreneurs and inventors since the guy who invented fire was looking to scale up his production.
♦ Rapid access to funding
♦ Rapid progress with your vision
♦ Finding investors that will listen
♦ Getting that big fat check
Intelliversity has developed a free self-assessment kit, based on investor criteria, that helps you access funding. The kit is Stage 1 of our Fast Track to Funding Program. It includes directions, a proprietary checklist and a session with an Intelliversity Advisor after completing the checklist. All Intelliversity Advisors are investors and innovators.
You will leave the call with new insights to advance your visions.
Not everyone will be eligible for Stages 2 and 3 BUT we will make sure you know the next steps to take to forward your company’s success. 100% of our clients that complete Stages 2 and 3 successfully have been funded.
We also offer a low-cost follow-up program to answer deeper questions regarding fundability.
There is no cost to take the first step. Let’s get started!
