Why We Do What we Do

People risk is one of the most underestimated threats to startup investments—leading to failed leadership transitions, founder burnout, and costly hiring mistakes. We help funds de-risk their portfolios by tackling these challenges head-on.

Through a people-first, data-driven strategy, we ensure founders have the right leadership, team structure, and culture to scale effectively. The result? Fewer failed executive hires, stronger leadership decisions, and higher portfolio returns.
