Over 17 years experience in running accelerators, business plan competitions, corporate innovation programs and startup enabling platforms.

Here's how Applyifi helps startups

Step 1:
Applyifi scorecard for your startup
We first assess your venture's business and investment readiness using our proprietary Applyifi 36-point scorecard.

The Applyifi scorecard reviews your venture on key parameters that investors typically assess companies on.
Step 2:
Comprehensive business plan
Based on the scorecard, we provide actionable insights to strengthen your business.

We help you develop a comprehensive 3-year business plan covering market opportunity, potential, positioning & value proposition, strategy, product, go-to-market plans, business model, revenue streams, business case & financial plan, resources required and overall business road map.
Step 3 :
Implementation and fund-raising assistance.
Our team then develops a comprehensive investor pitch deck that covers all the points that investors seek information on.

We then share your deck with relevant investors and funds. We also advice you on an appropriate fund raising strategy for your venture.

On a mutually agreed model, we engage long term to help you implement the plan.
