OUR APPROACH
Pillar 1: Financial Perspective
Gain a Strategic Edge by Unlocking Your Target's Potential

OUR APPROACH
Pillar 2: Customer Perspective
Due Diligence That Goes Deep on the Customer Perspective
As an active investor, we know the importance of due diligence before committing capital. When evaluating a potential new addition to our portfolio, we dig deep into the customer perspective to assess competitive strengths and risks.
Our analysis examines three key pillars:
Product/Service Fit - How well does the target's offering fulfill unmet customer needs today and tomorrow?
Customer Experience - How seamless, responsive and personalized is their end-to-end customer journey?
Brand Equity - What is the strength of their brand positioning and customer loyalty?
Armed with insights into the target's customer advantages, vulnerabilities, and growth potential, we can make a risk-adjusted assessment of their value. We identify:
Customer pain points competitors can exploit
Service and relationship gaps to improve
Brand limitations to address through repositioning
Product innovation opportunities
Revenue growth and pricing power potential
For any emerging company, the customer perspective is critical to long-term success. Our analysis provides the clarity to minimize investment risks and maximize upside.
Let us put our expertise to work for your next high-potential investment target.
OUR APPROACH
Pillar 3: Internal Perspective
Due Diligence That Peels Back the Hood
When evaluating an emerging company, we know that capabilities on paper don't always match real-world execution.
That's why our due diligence takes a hard look under the hood to assess core internal processes and operational effectiveness. We examine:
Sales

Sales
Operations Management - How efficient, consistent, and scalable are production and fulfilment processes? Can they support growth?
Customer Management - Do sales and service processes deliver seamless experiences and maximize lifetime value?
Innovation - How strong is their new product pipeline and ability to keep pace with market needs?
Regulatory & Social - Are they staying on top of compliance and building trust through ESG performance?
By getting granular on these process domains, we identify latent execution risks and upside potential:
Quality control gaps that allow competitors to overtake them
Innovation blind spots leaving them exposed to disruption
Revenue leakage from poor onboarding and account management
Looming regulatory burdens that distract focus and resources
Let us complement your management team evaluation with actionable intelligence on their core processes and operations. With both perspectives, you'll make better informed investment decisions.

OUR APPROACH
Pillar 4: Growth Perspective
Due Diligence That Assesses True Growth Readiness
Hitting growth targets takes more than just a bold strategy. The right organizational capabilities and resources must be in place to execute.
That's why our investment due diligence analyzes the startup's growth readiness across three key dimensions:
Human Capital - Does the team have the skills, experience, and leadership to drive rapid scaling?
Information Capital - Are data, analytics, and insights sufficient to support growth initiatives?
Organizational Capital - Are structures and culture aligned to growth, with enough stability to prevent chaos?
By understanding their existing growth-enabling resources, we identify risk areas such as:
Skills gaps that could hamper execution of the growth strategy
Blind spots from not tapping available data and analytics
Silos, bottlenecks, and cultural drag that inhibit responsiveness
While building human, informational, and organizational capital takes time, it's essential to sustainable growth. Our analysis assesses whether existing capabilities can support hockey stick projections, or require further investment.
Let us complement your team evaluation with an inside look at organizational readiness. With both perspectives, you'll make better growth capital allocation decisions.
