Curious to see how Fund12 projects are doing with regard to their onboarding? Check out this public readiness tracker and follow along all 258 projects. If you are a funded project yourself, your task is simple: ensure you receive all green checkmarks to enable you to proceed towards first funding. If your project still doesn’t have green checkmarks, there may be actions for you. Especially for due diligence, make sure to visit your verification portal to check for any resubmission requests.
