Can the platform support the business growth plan? Can we add new business modules? Is the technical debt under control? Does the staffing plan hold up? What is the state of the roadmap? Is this team ready for the next step? Are the processes ready for tomorrow? What about cybersecurity? And above all, you need to know which issues need fixing and the associated cost.

tailored to the situation

a proven methodology leads to a predictable outcome

1. Investment Thesis & Data Mining

Your investment thesis is the guiding beacon for the analysis. Automated data gathering quickly brings first insights. A targeted questionnaire is sent to fill the holes in the data room.

2. Interviews and First Findings

A carefully crafted checklist quides the scan of the target’s people, processes, and software. It is conducted through carefully structured interviews and automated code analysis. An intermediate readout presents first findings and aligns on next steps.

3. Interlocks and Deep-Dives

Synchronization with other due diligence streams (legal, commercial, etc).  Targeted deep dives into specific focus areas to create deeper understanding and validate hypothesis.

4. Consolidation and Readout

Connecting the dots and distilling findings into actionable, practical recommendations that serve the interest of both investors and the target companies.
