TVA is the only company in the country that has developed a proven-consistent methodology to evaluate how a company might rate with professional investors. TVA offers a FREE version that will give entrepreneurs a rough idea of how they might rate. Then, based on the entrepreneurs level of interest and response to the first report, allows them to progressively pursue a “customized pathway” to improving their funding chances.

The ultimate product offered by TVA is their “Fundability Analysis” — where entrepreneurs must answer up to 1,000 questions (typical of what a professional investor might ask them). Once completed, the entrepreneur receives a 10-15 page report that provides a SWOT analysis and concludes with a numerical rating (based on a 1,200 point scale). Over the last seven years, over 8,000 companies have been rated and, of those scoring over 1,000 points, >50% have been funded.
