The model is our representation of the early stage business environment and the processes that are necessary to improve deals so they can become finance ready. The model's fundamental basis is that the business environment is always looking for newer, cheaper, faster, better ways to do business and make money.
Business cycles come and go.
When interest rates are high fewer investments take place because the risk free return on money is higher but overall - if an entrepreneur can uncover a niche market, create a technological breakthrough, or develop a better way of doing things investors will invest. Markets come and go. When one particular sector is hot lots of money goes to that sector but deals still get done in sectors that are not in the spotlight. There is no shortage of money for early stage deals. What keeps investors from investing or hinders the rate of investment is usually the inability on the part of entrepreneurs to specifically, and appropriately identify their unique business proposition.
