How do investors use the Fluency Score? (A Thread)

For this example, let's call this investor Jennifer. Jennifer is a partner at a seed fund using the Fluency Score for due diligence and portfolio tracking. ↓↓↓

[Fluent @fluentstudioco]

Jennifer relies on this consistent and standardized view of the companies when they are in her portfolio as well. She gets quarterly updates from her portfolio companies, which gives her immediate, actionable insights into which companies are hitting their targets...

Fluent has a 93% retention rate, so we have high hopes this data will be as useful and as needed on an ongoing basis for New Ventures as it is for our other clients!

Fluent is kicking off Fluency Scores for applicants to New Ventures' suite of accelerator programs today! We are looking forward to being a part of this North Carolina organization's selection and tracking processes for the first time.

There are lightweight recommendations in each Fluency Score report to help you kick off strategic thinking about how to do that work. Where there is risk, create a stage-appropriate lean experiment to test your assumption in the market with customers!

Question of the day: How can I improve my Fluency Score?

De-risking a business model in the market with customers, at every step, is the basis for the Fluency Score.

Focus on vectors that have “gaps” and think of those as opportunities to really move the needle for the company. What is still unknown in that area, and how can you push ahead with high quality learnings from customers to continue to resolve your business model assumptions.

Fluent is excited to bring Fluency Score data to @757accelerate for the 2nd year in a row!

757 is again using #FluencyScores to help identify the maturation of incoming #startups, to help measure program #impact, and to help inform work with founders to identify in-program KPIs.

[Fluent @fluentstudioco]

This Virginia program is part of a state-wide networked dataset of pre-and post-acceleration @fluencyscore data, so Fluent will be running scores on these companies again to help illustrate the impact of 757's work with this cohort of founders! @CITorg
