Investor Brief · Readiness & Use of Funds · July 2026
What it takes to make Klair Vu market-ready and repeatable
A fully-loaded, line-itemised 24-month execution budget on an India tier-II cost base. Two views: the 18-month floor (survival pace) and the 24-month plan (competitive pace, founders funded, certifications done once and properly).
The raise
₹1.5 Cr
24-month plan. Two engineers + BD, founder stipends, ISO 27001 + SOC 2, India data residency, HA infrastructure, full go-to-market calendar, 15% contingency. Built so we never return mid-execution for a bridge.
The floor
₹92 L
18-month floor. Same milestones minus SOC 2, founder stipends and the BD hire — founder-led sales throughout. Viable, but every delay compounds.
Why we ask for headroom deliberately: under-capitalised security vendors fail due-diligence twice — once on runway questions, once on the corners they cut. A bridge round at month 14 costs far more dilution than contingency today. This budget is priced to survive reality, not to look small.
