Even if you aren't seeking private capital, you can take an online survey to determine whether your company is well positioned for growth
Lydia Belanger features the Pepperdine Graziadio "Most Fundable Companies Qualfier
Survey" in Entrepreneur. The survey is designed to provide entrepreneurs with an assessment of their business
from an investor standpoint. Belanger notes that the free survey is part of a research
initiative in which the Pepperdine Graziadio Business School partnered with The Venture
Alliance (TVA) to develop the survey and its components.
Participants receive customized feedback and are automatically in the running to be
one of the 20 "Most Fundable Companies" – a nationally recognized list. Pepperdine
Graziadio Assistant Professor of Finance and Director of the Pepperdine Private Capital
Markets Project Craig R. Everett, PhD, is quoted in the Entrepreneur piece, offering dos and don'ts for companies seeking funding. He encourages every
start-up to take the qualifier survey and learn what they might be overlooking.
