Weekly prototyping plans are created for founders with 3-5 rapid tests designed to change the confidence in all the key assumptions underlying the ventures model.

Completion of this process not only validates ventures’ business and impact models, but also the commitment and initiative of their founders.

USV compiles data collected from ventures into historical financial and impact data. We use this to create decks, financial projections, and data rooms.
Once validation is reached, we share these documents in personal messages with funders in our network who match in terms of deal size and sector.
The introduction by USV greatly increases the probability that ventures are reviewed, and ultimately raise capital.
