Company Basics

Tell me about your company at a high level. Every field marked with an asterisk is required to proceed.

A Note on NDAs

Ironwood GP does not sign NDAs prior to reviewing company materials. This is standard practice in venture capital and investment banking. I see a high volume of deals across many sectors, and signing NDAs across all of them would create legal obligations I could not responsibly manage.

Your information will not be shared beyond the scope of finding you the right capital partner. I will always ask for your explicit approval before making any introduction. Questions? info [at] ironwoodgp [dot] com

Market carries 20 points. I pressure-test market size estimates, so be ready to cite your sources.

Yes No

Please select one.

Roughly how many customers and what is your current monthly revenue?

What is your estimated total addressable market, and what is your source? *

This field is required.

How much are you currently seeking, and in what form? *

This field is required.

Yes No

Please select one.

Is your cap table current and free of unresolved obligations? *

Yes No

Please select one.
