RISK CHECK FOR STARTUPS
Structured startup risk management in 4 weeks
For founders and startup CEOs with 2–10 people: facilitated startup risk management with hazards valued in euros — before investor due diligence or a costly blind spot.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
Risks? “Yeah, sure – someday.” But someday is usually too late.
You have a thousand things in your head at once: product, customers, hiring, cash. Startup risk management sounds like enterprise bureaucracy — spreadsheet monsters and checklists — so you put off a structured risk assessment.
The external problem
You have no structured picture of your risks. What could cost you €30,000 tomorrow, you do not know today.
The internal problem
Deep down you know: there are things you overlook. Key-person risk, cashflow gaps, legal pitfalls, technical debt.
The belief
A founder who carries responsibility for their team should not guess where the biggest hazards lie. They should know.

Frequently asked questions
What is startup risk management?
Startup risk management means identifying hazards that could slow growth or stop the company, assessing them in euros and likelihood, and prioritising measures — without enterprise overhead. Beraterium uses a 3-level hazard catalogue tailored to founding teams.
How much time does it cost me?
About 2 hours per session, 1–2 sessions plus kick-off in total. We handle the rest.
Is it worth it this early?
Especially early: a key-person or cash risk can stop a young startup completely.
What if there are only two of us?
No problem. We facilitate so even a small founding team reaches a realistic assessment.
Do I get something to show investors?
You get a prioritised risk report as a one-pager. Honest, not polished.
