Buy on AmazonAbout This Book
Most startups fail not because the idea is bad, but because the founders never asked the hard questions early enough. Investable is Mohamed Al Hashemi's framework for evaluating whether a business idea is genuinely ready for investment or just interesting on paper. Drawing on his experience as a CEO, board member, and Endeavor mentor, he walks entrepreneurs through market validation, financial readiness, founder credibility, and the uncomfortable truths that separate fundable businesses from passion projects. This is not a motivational book. It is a practical filter built from real experience with real startups.
"The question is not whether your idea is good. The question is whether your business is investable, and those are two very different things."Mohamed Al Hashemi
