Entrepreneurship Readiness Assessment (platform tool)

25 questions across five founder dimensions. Get a score out of 100, a readiness band, and specific guidance per dimension.

What it is

The Entrepreneurship Readiness Assessment is an honest self-check on you as a founder, not your idea. Some programs ask for it before you apply, and it's useful on its own to see where you're strong and where you need support.

It's tied to your account, not to a single venture.

The five dimensions

| Dimension | What it looks at | |---|---| | Founder Mindset | Resilience, comfort with ambiguity, drive from internal conviction | | Execution Track Record | Evidence of shipping, selling, leading, and finishing what you start | | Market & Problem Awareness | Clarity on the problem, who feels it most, and why current solutions fall short | | Commitment & Sacrifice Readiness | Time, runway, family support, and concrete steps already taken | | Coachability & Collaboration | Openness to feedback, co-founders, mentors, and healthy conflict |

Each dimension has 5 questions, answered on a four-point scale: Not at all · Somewhat · Mostly · Strongly.

How it works

• Work through one dimension at a time. You must answer all 5 questions to move on, and your running score for that dimension is shown as you go.
• On the last dimension, click See my results.

How you're scored

• Each answer scores 0–3, so each dimension scores 0–15 and the total raw score is out of 75.
• Your overall score is converted to 0–100.

| Overall score | Band | |---|---| | 80–100 | High Readiness | | 60–79 | Moderate Readiness | | 40–59 | Developing | | 0–39 | Not Yet Ready |

Each dimension also gets its own band and a short piece of guidance. For example, a Developing score on Market & Problem Awareness suggests talking to more potential customers and mapping their current workarounds.

How to use your result

A low band isn't a verdict on whether you should start. It shows where to focus. Pair weak dimensions with the right help: Circle for mentors, Validation for market awareness, and Venture Gap Analysis for venture-level gaps.
