✅ Focus: Tech-enabled businesses with strong scalability potential
✅ Traction: Have a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) with early traction and consistent month-over-month growth
✅ Financials: A clear path to profitability with realistic financial projections
✅ Round Leadership: The round should be led by a Venture Capital (VC) firm or an experienced angel investor
