Climate Startup Readiness Score
A quick self-assessment with a radar chart output. Great for founders, accelerators, and investors.
Inputs
Score each dimension from 0–10. This is a planning tool, not a verdict.
Readiness Score
Radar chart view + overall score + what to fix next.
You’re getting shape. Push for customer proof and reduce regulatory unknowns.
Talk to a regulator / standards body / domain expert early.
Collect proof points: pilots, LOIs, revenue, grants, or reference customers.

Scoring rubric (quick guide)
0–3: Mostly assumptions, limited evidence.
4–6: Early proof, some validation, still risky.
7–8: Strong evidence (pilots/LOIs/compliance path).
9–10: Repeatable + scaled, clear defensibility.
FAQ
Common questions about readiness scoring and how to use the radar chart.
What is the Climate Startup Readiness Score?
It’s a quick self-assessment that scores key startup dimensions from 0–10 and visualizes them as a radar chart. It helps founders, accelerators, and investors identify strengths, gaps, and what to prioritize next.
What do the four dimensions mean?
Tech maturity reflects product/engineering readiness. Regulatory readiness reflects compliance and standards fit. Market readiness reflects customer validation and go-to-market clarity. Funding readiness reflects fundraising preparedness, unit economics, and investor fit.
How is the overall score calculated?
The overall score is a simple roll-up of the dimension scores (scaled to 100). It’s meant for planning and comparison over time, not as a definitive evaluation.
Is this score objective?
No. It’s a self-assessment tool. The value comes from consistently scoring your startup over time and using the results to guide priorities and discussions with mentors or investors.
How should I interpret the radar chart?
A balanced shape usually indicates fewer bottlenecks. Sharp dips highlight constraints that may block growth (for example: strong tech but low regulatory readiness in heavily regulated sectors).
What is a “good” readiness score for raising funding?
It depends on stage and sector. Early-stage teams can raise with an uneven radar if they have strong customer signals or a clear regulatory path. Use the score to identify the biggest risk to de-risk next.
How can accelerators or investors use this tool?
Accelerators can use it for cohort diagnostics and personalized support plans. Investors can use it as a structured way to discuss risk areas (regulatory, go-to-market, or technical execution).
Can I share my results?
Yes. The tool provides a shareable link that preserves your scores, making it easy to discuss the same snapshot with cofounders, mentors, or investors.
