The Startup Software Development Maturity Model by Platform.sh was born both through our own experience and from working with many startups in different phases of their development.
Developing, raising money, is never about one thing; and of course the project, the market, the founders and the moment are the most important elements that will make other people decide whether to invest in your venture.
But your maturity, you capacity to scale, to keep going fast, to go even faster are going to have a big effect. Knowing where you are, compared to the competition is going to help you to make your case.
There is bias
Every startup is different, the questionnaire addresses what almost every startup will eventually have and on which it is going to rely to scale: its backend systems, and it is basically assumed those are using web technologies. Their importance will vary depending on the domain in which the venture is.
It is all about the Path
A great deal of the value of this questionnaire is in the questions, not the answers nor the measurement. It is a conversation starter with the people that are poised to give you funds to help you scale. They allow to shine a light on the areas on which you might need to focus more attention.
Once you’ve completed the survey, you immediately see your personalised results.
If you take the 2 minute test but decide later that you want to do the full evaluation, no worries! You can still take the full survey.
Why do we require Linked-In sign-in?
Because we don't want our model to be eating junk. The only way we can ensure
it remains useful is if there are real users, representing real startups.
In the background, we will be crunching the numbers and later on you’ll get a copy of a full report of our findings which we will present later this year.
