What is Investigative Due Diligence? In our recent discussion, Brendan M. Foo and I delved into the nuances of investigative due diligence, a critical step that goes beyond basic online searches. Here’s a snapshot of our conversation: Investigative due diligence involves engaging expert firms to deeply examine the backgrounds of founders, executives, and key players involved in a deal. It’s not just about what's on the surface; it’s about uncovering detailed insights that can impact investment decisions. Key Insights: Investigative Due Diligence: It’s more than just checking Google. It involves expert firms diving deep into founders, executives, and key players. Factors Considered: ▪️Track Record: Past performance. ▪️Legal History: Red flags. ▪️Reputation: Online presence and industry standing. ▪️Motivations: Goals for the company. ▪️Conflicts of Interest: Hidden agendas. Benefits: ▪️Maximize the upside by uncovering hidden opportunities. ▪️Minimize downside by identifying risks early. ▪️Negotiate better deal terms with comprehensive knowledge. ▪️Increase investment confidence with a full picture. Who Should Use It: ▪️Investors of all sizes. ▪️Founders seeking transparency to strengthen their case. Engagement Tips: ▪️Balance cost vs. deal size. ▪️Choose reputable firms with specialized resources. ▪️Engage investigators through your lawyer for privilege protection.
