Connect with Our Network of Experts
In our experience, there is often no substitute to “hearing it from the horse’s mouth” — getting an informed and current perspective, directly from someone who has a stake in your topic of interest.
We can connect you (in person, by telephone or online) with experts in a specific topic, business, or industry – drawing both on our own network, and those of expert network partners around the globe.
We can also identify and consult with experts on your behalf – on a confidential basis if required (for example in advance of an M&A transaction or new product / market launch).
Venture Identification & Screening
A significant challenge for investors is access to ‘deal flow’ – opportunities to engage with companies of various growth stages that are seeking capital.
We support investors by identifying and shortlisting investment prospects based on targeted criteria – typically around industry, geographic and/or technology specialties.
We specialize in bridging the gap between capital and investment opportunities across North America and the Asia Pacific region – where we have a network of partners capable of supporting both inbound and outbound opportunities.
Investor Due Diligence
We support investor due diligence through independent, expert assessments of market opportunity, competitive threat, business plan assumptions and go-to-market strategy feasibility.
Drawing on our commercial consulting tools, we provide independent, evidence-based advice and local market knowledge that investors can rely on as part of broader diligence activity – typically working in partnership with transaction, legal and accounting advisors.
