Start-up / Scale-up Investment Due Diligence

Helping angel, VC and PE investors make a more informed investment decision.

A practical due diligence review to understand the current product, team skills and process to maximise the investment with a focus on customers and their needs.

Nine of the top 20 reasons for startup failures – and five out of the top 10 – were related to customers – not meeting customers’ needs, not listening to them or even ignoring them.
– Forbes, May 2019

How it works

A series of interviews with the founding team and key employees focusing on, but not limited to:

Customer / user needs research, process and understanding
Product market fit
Product vision, strategy and direction
The market, competition and defensibility
Product and technical roadmap
Pricing, revenue targets and business model
Measurement and KPIs
Team roles, make-up and process
Growth strategy

Together we can then develop a practical plan to make the right product and technical decisions at the right time to maximise time and investment.
