Startup due diligence for VCs and business angels
Last updated: 28 September 2026
Before you invest, we review the finance side of the startup: numbers, plan, unit economics and finance organisation. You get an independent view of which assumptions hold and where the risk sits – before the term sheet is signed.
Experience from 350 projects.
Reviewed from a CFO perspective
We do not review startups from an auditor's point of view but from that of a CFO who has built such finance functions. That is why we see early where a plan does not hold and what set-up work lies ahead after the investment.

How the startup due diligence works
Scoping and data request
We agree stage, ticket size and the critical questions for the round with you and request the documents we need: annual accounts, management accounts, plan, cap table and KPI reporting.
Analysis and founder conversation
We reconcile actuals, plan and pitch deck, recalculate runway and unit economics and clarify open points directly with the founders or their finance lead.
Report with red flags and recommendations
You receive a compact report with red flags, planning risks and points for the term sheet and investment agreement, such as information rights and reporting obligations after closing.
