Action 1 · Task 168 · Group 9

Define Venture Cohort and Enterprise Sales Readiness

Assess the venture's target market, sales maturity, and founder capability to establish the exact delivery context for the enterprise accelerator. Map whether the founder is selling B2B SaaS, deep tech, or regulated solutions to ensure tailored guidance.

Objective

Establishing this delivery context identifies specific founder knowledge gaps and operational constraints before programme commencement. It ensures the enterprise sales module aligns precisely with the venture's go-to-market model, preventing wasted effort on irrelevant sales frameworks.

What's expected from the founder

The founder must submit a detailed enterprise readiness profile outlining target annual contract value (ACV), ideal customer profile (ICP), and current pipeline stage. This must include documented proof of initial commercial traction or validated enterprise customer pain points.
