Choose your track
Questions, weights, benchmarks and red flags differ by track. Questions branch on your answers, so you only see what applies to you.
Startup track
For founders raising equity, SAFEs, convertibles or venture debt from angels, VCs, strategics and GCC capital.
Mid-market track
For owners, CEOs and CFOs raising growth equity, PE, private credit, debt or strategic capital, including GCC sovereign and family capital.
How it works
Free. Your organisation profile and the evidence investors check first. Instant score, band, red flags and your top three gaps.
US$249.99 or US$499. A deeper questionnaire, then the full diagnosis, red flags, 30/60/90-day plan, data-room checklist and investor Q&A.
Every gap maps to an OceanMerge service – narrative and deck, model, data room, legal clean-up, governance, valuation and raise strategy.
At 75+ with no red flags you can ask OceanMerge to review you for introductions to its capital network, including GCC investors – at OceanMerge's discretion.
What the Index measures
Whatever your total, a red flag holds you below “Investor-ready” until it is fixed. Examples:

Who is behind the Index
21 years supporting cross-border M&A and GCC partnerships.
The Index turns the questions that decide investment committees – and that stall most raises – into a structured assessment you can complete in minutes, with a plan to fix what it finds.
Questions
Founders raising pre-seed to Series B, and owners, CEOs and CFOs of mid-market companies (roughly US$10M–500M revenue) preparing for growth equity, private equity, private credit, a strategic investor or GCC capital.
From your answers only, using fixed published rules. Each answer scores 0–4 points; each of the ten dimensions is scaled to 100 and weighted by track. Red flags – the issues that stop real investment committees – cap the score, whatever the total.
Because investors are. We ask for evidence (“audited for three years”, “LTV:CAC tracked and at least 3:1”) and bands for the numbers that matter, not self-ratings. Questions branch, so you only see what applies to you.
The free Index takes about 12–15 minutes. The paid deep-dive adds about 30–40 questions and 15–20 minutes. Progress is saved in your browser tab.
No. Readiness assessment and advisory only: not investment, financial, legal or tax advice, not an offer of securities, and no guarantee of raising capital. OceanMerge provides readiness assessment and advisory services. Introductions to our capital network are at OceanMerge's sole discretion.
When your score reaches 75 with no red flags, you can ask OceanMerge to review you for introductions. Introductions are never automatic and never made without your consent.
Your answers produce your score and report and are treated as confidential. If you buy the report, or opt in, OceanMerge receives a short record so it can follow up. We never share your answers with investors without your express consent.
Built on OceanMerge’s methodology. If something’s wrong, we’ll correct it. If your report contains a material error, email contact@oceanmerge.ae with your report reference and we will correct it. There is no voluntary money-back guarantee or change-of-mind refund. You keep your rights under the Australian Consumer Law; refunds apply where the law requires them.
