54-point Diagnostic For Project Funding

About

Great projects get rejected for reasons founders can't see. Maple Virtual Solutions' Maple Standard™ is a 54-point investor-readiness diagnostic that finds the gaps in your deck, business plan, and financials so you know exactly what to fix before you approach investors. The Maple Standard™ was built over six years through close 1-on-1 relationships with a variety of funding sources we've worked with closely, creating a framework for funding readiness.

Helping to turn around funding rejections into funding successes

My name is Kimberley, a CPA turned financial consultant turned founder. Alongside my COO, Richard, we built Maple Virtual Solutions after working with many businesses struggling to secure funding and get projects funding-ready.

After years of helping clients navigate funding challenges, we saw a pattern: funding sources rejected great ideas for reasons they didn't tell entrepreneurs. We knew those issues because we worked side by side with those same sources and relayed them to our clients.
It pushed us to ask, "If our funding sources are not telling founders why they're not getting funding, how could we bridge the gap so that projects could get fixed to then get funded successfully?" Founders and entrepreneurs were too frustrated about getting funding, and we couldn't stand by anymore. We needed to do something.

Now we're helping founders worldwide stop guessing, understand why they hear "no," and turn it into an actionable roadmap to get a "yes."

To get the discussion going, what's been your biggest challenge when getting funding ready?
