Professional investors conduct due diligence on startups before writing an investment check. But 80% of startups fail due diligence. In the best case, this delays fundraising by three months. But in the worst case, the investors back out and choose not to invest at all.
Most founders are surprised at the volume of work required in diligence. Most guides on startup due diligence only focus on a checklist of diligence tasks — basically what to look at. Almost none of them provide founders or investors with tools to expedite or optimize the diligence process — which is how to conduct the diligence.
That’s where our due diligence best practices and toolkit class comes in. As a startup coach, I’ve helped dozens of startups prepare for and pass the diligence process. As an investor with Band of Angels, I’ve also reviewed dozens of diligence responses from founders — and found serious errors in over 80% of the diligence content.
Join us for an insightful class covering how the fundraising diligence process works. We’ll also do live walkthroughs of tools from our diligence toolkit, showing how they save founders and investors time, money, and headaches.
