Due Diligence
Founder / Fund / Due Diligence
Deals do not die at the term sheet. They die in diligence.
Incomplete documents, messy cap tables, weak financial assumptions and unanswered hard questions can kill an interested investor after momentum already exists.
Diligence readiness is about removing avoidable friction before it becomes fatal.
Due diligence exposes operational truth.
Investors use diligence to test whether the company is as organized and credible as the pitch suggests.
Legal gaps appear late
Unsigned agreements, IP issues and corporate records can stop a process cold.
Numbers do not hold up
Financial assumptions change under pressure or cannot be explained clearly.
Founder answers are inconsistent
Different answers across calls signal risk even when the business is promising.
