General

AyR gives an Expert opinion on the completeness of the business plan and on the readiness of the key exploitable result to be presented to venture capital investors (e.g. business angels, seed capital funds, venture capital funds). It is a benchmarking audit software designed for supporting project consortia in assessing the investor readiness of key exploitable research results (products and services), taking into consideration key strategic aspects such as team, market and financial requirements. AyR illustrates how complete and interesting the investment opportunity looks through the eyes of a potential investor.

It is an on-line tool aiming at:

• appraising the level of investor readiness relatively to the stage of development of the key exploitable results and the potential attractiveness to potential investors;

• helping to identify which actions are necessary in order to improve the probability of raising financial resources;

• bridging the gap between potential investors and project consortia.
