What makes a project fundable

30 June 20266 min read

Capital does not reject most projects because they are bad. It rejects them because it cannot assess them within the time it is willing to spend.

A fundable project presents a clear sponsor with verifiable standing, a use of proceeds tied to defined milestones, a financial model whose assumptions can be traced to sources, and a security package that survives the sponsor's failure.

The work of making a project fundable is largely the work of making it legible. That is unglamorous and it is the difference between a mandate and a polite decline.
