What does the entire process usually look like?

• Founders have built an MVP.
• Founders have figured out product market fit.
• Initial customers have been engaged - a waiting list is being created.
• Barn makes a small investment (usually around $25k) to improve and grow.
• Founders work with Barn to fix early stage problems over 6-12 months.
• If things are looking healthy, 25 Ships will help raise $150-350k.

What criteria are we looking for in founders?

• Hungry
• Knows the space that they're building for
• A great builder or hustler

What else do we recommend?

• We highly recommend doing YC's online startup school. It can be done pretty quickly and is 100% free.
• A pitch deck is always great
• Extra credit for being based in Nashville
