Under LOI?
If you’re looking for capital for a specific deal, here’s how we evaluate fit for investment:
We review deal teasers and conduct a preliminary call to rule out deals that clearly don’t match our sweet spot.
We help you diligence deals from every angle, making sure you're stepping into a promising business without red flags. We can also help you monetize leads sourced via proprietary search that end up not being a fit to reduce wasted effort.
We partner with you during diligence, testing key assumptions and ensuring mutual confidence before closing. After investment, we stay engaged through strategic guidance and access to our advisor network.
