Gather Core Founder and Market Inputs
The founder compiles all existing evidence of their personal background, industry networks, domain expertise, and preliminary market research. They aggregate CV data, direct sector experience records, contact lists, and initial thesis documents into a centralised audit folder.
Completing this action establishes a comprehensive inventory of the founder's raw material, domain experience, and market connections. It ensures the Founder-Market Fit Assessment is grounded in documented assets rather than vague assertions, directly improving the reliability of the baseline evaluation.
The founder must provide a structured portfolio containing verifiable career history, an audited network map of relevant industry contacts, and documented domain experience. Clear proof of sector immersion and an organised input repository are mandatory.
