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.

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.
