The Diligence Challenge

You evaluate 50-200 deals per year. Most get 2-3 hours of initial assessment before you pass or dig deeper.

"

This is a $50B market — is it really?

Founders pitch big numbers. You need third-party research to validate claims before the partner meeting.

"

We can't diligence every deal that comes through

Associates cost $100K+/year. You need efficient ways to separate real opportunities from weak pitches.

"

Our portfolio company wants to pivot — should they?

Founders ask about new segments and directions. You want to help without funding expensive consultants.

"

LPs expect evidence of thorough diligence

Professional documentation matters. You need third-party research to demonstrate process rigor.
