Being fundable is not a status that someone grants. It is a condition of your records: what you can show, what you own, what you have agreed to and what you can explain. The articles on this desk are about preparing that evidence, and about briefing the lawyers and advisers you choose so they can help you decide.

The pieces cover what diligence tests, the records small engineering teams keep in order, questions for your own counsel, the founder time a raise consumes, investor fit, and how to arrange an evidence pack, answer a security and privacy questionnaire and keep customer evidence.

Two limits apply throughout. World Enterprise makes no promise of funding, and nothing on this desk predicts that any company will raise money. We also do not give legal or financial advice. Investor Introductions is a separate, paid add-on, not part of this desk. Introductions are a flat-fee service. WE is not a broker-dealer or investment adviser, takes no fee or stake tied to any investment, and cannot promise a meeting or funding. Where an article touches the law, it describes general categories from public sources and tells you to ask your own counsel.
