For Investors

Independent readiness assessment across the investment lifecycle

We work with funds, family offices and corporate investors that need a technical and operational view of hard-tech targets — one that survives contact with the pilot plant.

Engagements

Offer 01

Early-Stage Deeptech Readiness Review

A fast, structured screen of a target's technical and operational reality before deeper diligence spend is committed.

  • Claim-versus-evidence mapping across the core technology
  • Stage-appropriate readiness scoring on all eight dimensions
  • Identification of the two or three risks that decide the case
  • Red flags, open questions and a diligence plan for the next phase

Deliverable — Readiness memo with go / no-go rationale and a targeted diligence scope.

Offer 02

Technical & Operational Due Diligence

Full diligence on what happens between prototype and industrial operation: process, organization, safety and execution capacity.

  • Technology and scale-up path assessment, including pilot design review
  • R&D organization, cadence, documentation and knowledge-retention review
  • Safety, permitting and certification exposure across the plan horizon
  • Milestone plan stress-test against lead times, capex and hiring reality

Deliverable — Diligence report with ranked risks, mitigation cost, and milestone-level probability commentary.

Offer 03

Portfolio Support

Ongoing readiness oversight across a portfolio, so technical drift is visible between board meetings rather than at the next raise.

  • Periodic readiness reviews with comparable scoring across companies
  • Escalation support on stalled scale-up, safety or organizational issues
  • Pre-raise readiness checks ahead of Series A and beyond
  • Board-level briefings framed in decisions, not status updates

Deliverable — Portfolio readiness dashboard and per-company intervention recommendations.

Working principles

Evidence, then judgement

Stage-calibrated

A Seed-stage venture is not assessed against Series A conditions. Expectations are set by stage.

Non-negotiable independence

No success fees, no placement interest, no conflicting mandates on the same transaction.

Decision-shaped output

Findings are written for an investment committee: ranked, costed and tied to milestones.

Confidential by default

Materials are handled under NDA and destroyed or returned at engagement close.

Submit a target or portfolio question

Intake is structured so we can assess fit, conflicts and urgency before any call.
