What is due diligence?
Every startup offers something unique. Every passionate founder has an idea to change the world. As an investor, your job is to survey this crowded field and pick out the winners.The task is complex but there is a roadmap for success. It begins with a key observation: the startup failure rate is high but the early-stage companies that make it big share many things in common. These winning qualities can be identified before any money is invested; that is the power of due diligence.
Due diligence sheds light on areas such as a startup’s team and management, the size of the market it hopes to enter and the quality of its products and services. But there is no one formula: every early-stage company presents its own unique profile of risks and rewards.
