Investors
Avoid crashes
You bet on changes in expectations, and on technologies. But most of all, you bet on People.
So your returns depend on making the right calls on Teams.
Most early stage ventures fail for reasons that are rooted in Team Know-How and Team Alignment.
Struggling with suboptimal or dysfunctional teams is the fastest way to kill your returns - and possibly your reputation.
Teams execute to promise not just because individual team members are skilled and energetic; investability starts when you really know what they have - and what they need from you.
Reduce Crash Potential
Deeply understand the collective skills, know-how and drive of the Teams you have invested in, or are about to invest in:
Add rigour in human due diligence: Know what the whole Team brings, not just the Founder
Understand the real team dynamics - how the team actually works or will work; how to head off potential points of friction
Know how to deliver precision investee support
