Two New Assessment Tools to Accelerate Your Business Growth

We’re excited to announce the launch of two comprehensive assessment tools designed to help entrepreneurs and business leaders make better strategic decisions. Both tools are completely free and provide actionable insights within minutes.

🚀 Startup Readiness Check

Our Startup Readiness Check is a comprehensive self-assessment for aspiring entrepreneurs and early-stage startups. Based on Lean Startup methodology and proven Silicon Valley frameworks, it evaluates your readiness across 10 critical dimensions.

What it assesses:

• Problem validation and solution fit
• Target market understanding
• Business model viability
• Product & technology readiness
• Team composition and organization
• Marketing & sales strategy
• Legal foundations and risk management
• Funding strategy and financial planning
• Operational scalability
• Long-term vision and exit planning

Why it matters: Too many startups fail because founders skip critical validation steps. This tool helps you identify gaps before they become expensive mistakes.

Perfect for:

• Pre-launch entrepreneurs validating their ideas
• Early-stage startups (0-2 years)
• Solo founders needing strategic guidance
• Non-tech founders who need technical direction

🎯 Digital Maturity Assessment

Our Digital Maturity Assessment helps established businesses evaluate their digitalization progress and identify improvement opportunities. Developed from 100+ real digitalization projects with German SMEs.

What it evaluates:

• Processes & Workflows: How automated are your business processes?
• Data & Analytics: How effectively do you use your business data?
• Tools & Infrastructure: How modern and integrated is your IT landscape?
• Team & Culture: How digital-ready is your workforce?

Why it matters: Companies with higher digital maturity report 23% higher profitability and 12% faster revenue growth than their peers.

Perfect for:

• SMEs (10-500 employees) planning digitalization
• Department heads modernizing their processes
• Managing directors seeking efficiency gains
• IT leaders building business cases for digital initiatives
