What we do

Investments, Startups & Scale-ups

We help investors and growth companies identify material governance, regulatory, IP, data and technology risks before and after investment.

When organisations call us

  • A company prepares for a financing round and wants to find its own red flags first.
  • An investor needs a cross-cutting risk screen before committing to full due diligence.
  • The data room does not exist — or answers provoke more questions than they close.
  • Enterprise or regulated clients arrive faster than compliance, governance and security maturity.
  • After closing, findings must become a plan: owners, sequence, evidence.

Questions we help answer

  • Which risks are material enough to change valuation, structure or the decision itself?
  • Is the company’s story consistent with its documents — IP, data, contracts, governance?
  • What must be fixed before the term sheet, and what can be a closing condition?
  • How do we oversee portfolio exposure without drowning founders in reporting?

How we can support

  • Readiness review — governance, IP, data, AI, compliance and technology, from the investor’s chair.
  • Red-flag screen — fast, structured, materiality-driven; a basis for deciding on full DD.
  • Due-diligence support — specialist workstreams alongside legal and financial advisers.
  • Data-room design — index, evidence standards and Q&A discipline.
  • 100-day plan — post-investment remediation with owners, milestones and closure evidence.
  • Portfolio oversight — a proportionate reporting rhythm for investors.
