Proof of Concept (PoC)

Definition

A proof of concept demonstrates that an approach works technically, typically a prototype or pilot validating feasibility rather than market demand.

Wie es im Fundraising vorkommt

Enterprise startups run paid PoCs with early customers; deep tech startups use PoCs to retire technical risk before scaling capital arrives.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

How is a PoC different from an MVP?

A PoC proves it can be built; an MVP tests whether users want it. Investors fund the second question more than the first, outside deep tech.

Should PoC pilots be paid?

Whenever possible; a customer paying even a modest pilot fee is traction, while free pilots test politeness.
