A) Feature Spotlight – Understanding Startup Readiness with SparkLaunch SparkScore
Why this matters
Most startups don’t fail because founders aren’t working hard.
They fail because they don’t know where they stand.
Progress feels real.
Work is happening.
Things are moving.
But when it comes to investors…
There’s no clear answer.
Strength in one area can hide gaps in others.
Product might be strong.
But traction, go-to-market, or operations are not.
And without visibility, founders keep moving forward without knowing what’s actually missing.
SparkScore exists to solve that problem.
Not to judge.
But to provide clarity.
