Who It's For
Traditional Due Diligence Checks the Books, the Tech, and the Market Size
But Most Early-Stage Startups Don’t Die From Product Failure or Competition. They Implode From Within—Because the Founding Team Wasn’t Built to Scale
That’s Where We Come In
Overview
Founder Due Diligence is the Missing Link in Investor Evaluation. It Zeroes in on the People Making the Promises. We Examine the Founder, Co-Founders, and Core Team to Assess Whether They’re Capable of Executing, Evolving, and Leading Under Pressure.
We Expose Early Signs of Founder Syndrome, Power Imbalances, Communication Breakdowns, and Blind Spots That Kill Companies—Not After the Check Clears, Before
This isn’t Personal. It’s Practical. Because Hype Doesn’t Grow a Business—Substance Does. And No Amount of Market Potential or Technical Ingenuity Can Outrun a Dysfunctional Dynamic.
What You Get
Why It Matters
Investors Routinely Scrutinize the Pitch. They Probe the Model. They Double-Check Financials. And Then They Gamble on the Founders Based on “Gut Feel”
That’s Not Diligence. That’s Roulette!

A Flexible Framework—Not a Fixed Formula
While Each Program Follows a Set of Phases, No Two Clients Walk the Same Path. You May Already Be Partway Through Your Journey—Or Require More Time, Support, and Focus in a Specific Area.
That’s Why We Treat These as a Flexible Framework, Not a Rigid Checklist.
We Start With Where You Are—Not Where a Theory Says You “Should” Be. Our Goal isn’t to Move You Through A Process. It’s to Build Momentum.
