Stage 6: Growth

Overview

First sales, now team growth and refinement. Your executive team has built a robust foundation for the startup venture thus far – now it’s time to hit your stride.

The goal of Stage 6 is to achieve first no grant revenue, and develop a plan for iterating and expanding the company’s offerings and marketing efforts based on results and customer feedback. In order to enable your success in the Growth stage, and beyond, CRI will continue to provide support across a range of areas – intellectual property, business strategy, fundraising and industry connections.
