Venture Capital Support

Bespoke venture capital solutions powered by fundamental research, data-room analysis and technology-driven insights

Venture Capital Support

We provide comprehensive support to venture capital (VC) firms across the investment lifecycle. We help them monitor existing and new markets for consumer behaviour and economic/demographic changes, assisting them with real-time market-pulse tracking and sourcing quality targets to invest in.

Our deal-sourcing services help VC clients identify and maintain a pipeline of potentially interesting startups, providing increased visibility of startups in the space (95% visibility of attractive companies) and helping them pre-empt investment opportunities. We also conduct VC due diligence by compiling customised diligence frameworks and conducting research, ensuring faster turnaround on deal decisions (40-50% reduction in time taken to close a deal).

Our portfolio monitoring and advisory services enable VC firms to track performance of portfolio companies and funds periodically, conduct strategic portfolio reviews and prepare bespoke presentation material for investor reporting with limited partners.

Our VC domain team is experienced in working with all market data sources relevant for VC clients including Preqin, FactSet, CB Insights, Crunchbase, SimilarWeb, App Annie, Venture Intelligence, PitchBook and sector-specific sources.
