Five dimensions that decide whether you'll succeed in the US.

Each dimension is scored against the criteria Seed partners have built up over years of advising Australian companies through US entry. Strong scores in some dimensions can compensate for weaker ones — but only up to a point.

Strategy

How clearly defined and validated your US go-to-market is. Have you talked to real US customers, or are you extrapolating from Australian conversations?

Product–Market Fit

How strong your evidence of fit is *outside* Australia. Australian traction does not automatically translate — we look for direct US signal.

Operations

Whether you can actually run a US program: entity, banking, compliance, time-zone coverage, customer support. The boring stuff that breaks deals.

Capital

Whether your runway will outlast a 12–18 month US entry program — and whether your fundraising plan accounts for the realities of US payback periods.

Team

Whether the founding team has the experience to execute in the US, and whether the founder is willing to spend the time on the ground that the program requires.

How it works.

Create an account

You'll need a quick login because the information you share is sensitive — we don't want to mix submissions or lose track of who's who.

Fill out the intake

Eight short sections covering your company, your traction, your US thesis, your team, and your capital position. Mostly multiple-choice with a few open-text questions where the substance matters. About 10 minutes.

Get your evaluation

Within a minute or two, you'll receive a personalised readiness report — not a score generated by a quiz, but an actual evaluation written against the Seed partner rubric. Tells you what's strong, what to work on, and what your most useful next step is.

We see it too

If your evaluation suggests we'd be a good fit to work together, we'll reach out. If it's too early or not the right fit, we'll be honest about that — and tell you what would change our mind.
