We have worked with private equity, venture capital, family funds, incubators, individual investors, and government organizations to help them select, rate, and assess companies they were considering for investment. We do so quickly, confidentially, and directly, and we are clear about what we believe as a result and where and why we are uncertain or have doubts.
This can sometimes be as simple as listening to a pitch and engaging with a founder, and rating a startup red/yellow/green with a few comments. But it has also at times involved detailed competitive landscape investigations, code walk-throughs, on-site team interviews, getting third-party opinions, and of course financial assessment.
We have also engaged with startup management on behalf of investors to help a founder or executive work through an issue (e.g., a conflict with a co-founder, an inability to meet a deadline or get product out the door, discuss pros and cons of partnerships, brainstorm about product features, or consider technological options).
Our team's experience includes:
EIRs and advisors at top startup incubators (we saw many thousands of pitches, and coached dozens of founders)
Senior executives in Fortune-10 companies
Researchers and research directors at major R&D organizations
International operations and management in the US, several European countries; Israel, India, Russia, and Mexico
Inventors and early-stage startup contributors with dozens of granted patents in the US and other markets
Technical and executive experience in machine learning and analytics, enterprise software and IT, biomedical informatics / health tech, storage and data management, security and ops analytics, IOT, and optimization/logistics/operational efficiency
Advisory and DD engagements in FinTech, LegalTech, Enterprise Software and IT, Health/Wellness/Biomedical Informatics, HR Tech, Materials/Energy, Logistics/Supply Chain, Security and others.
