A note from Zafar Shah, founder of Remora

I built this so you'd know what your business is really worth.

Founders typically only learn how a buyer judges their business once one is already at the table. By then, it's too late to change the story.

The GTA Score gives you that view early. It uses the same diagnostic I run at the start of every engagement, so you can see where you stand, understand what's affecting your value, and decide what to do about it.

The framework

Eight dimensions that decide your headline number.

Every pillar is scored 0 to 100 and weighted by how much it actually moves deal outcomes. Together they produce one defensible GTA Score you can take to a board, an investor, or a buyer.

Behind the score

“Founders don't get exits wrong because they're bad at building. They get them wrong because nobody ever told them how the buyer scores.”

I've spent two decades sitting next to founders through raises, exits and transitions. The GTA framework is the distilled version of the diagnostic I run in week one of every engagement, now in your hands before you ever pick up the phone to an advisor.

Twelve minutes. One number that matters.

Know your GTA Score before a buyer tells you what it is.
