Venture Capital
From founding-team scoring to crossover-round chair builds. We service the GP partnership and the portfolio-CEO bench under a single continuous mandate.
Venture-capital firms now expect the same evidentiary infrastructure for management diligence and portfolio support as their LPs demand of buyout GPs. We act as the embedded leadership-intelligence function for global VC firms across seed, Series A–D, growth and crossover rounds.
Across seed, early-stage, growth and crossover venture funds.
Including 5 of the top-10 by 2024 deployed capital.
Continuous founding-team scoring delivered across pre-seed through Series C diligence.
Independent chair appointments delivered for portfolio companies pre-IPO and at crossover round.
228 mandates across four regions.
We deliver this sector out of five global hubs — Sydney (HQ), Singapore, London, New York and Dubai — anchored to discrete supervisory regimes. Regional Managing Partners hold the primary client relationship; the global sector lead governs methodology, calibration and quality.

What we are calibrated to deliver.
Pre-investment founding-team scoring delivered in 5–7 business days under absolute discretion.
VP-Engineering, VP-Product, CFO and CRO bench scoring tuned to scale-up cadence and Rule-of-40 trajectory.
Pre-IPO and crossover-round chair appointments with combined operator and listed-entity governance credentials.
Continuous behavioural-telemetry capture across portfolio CEOs to instrument the founder-to-operator transition.
The exposure pattern we price into every slate.
Single co-founder departure within 18 months of Series B closes a leading indicator of subsequent failed Series C.
Concurrent VP-level departures in product and engineering correlate with 30%+ probability of failed next round.
Sustained misalignment between founding team and board observer is a primary cause of down-round dynamics.
Crossover funds now apply listed-entity-grade governance diligence at Series D and later.
Anonymised by code; defensible by record.
Every engagement opens under NDA-by-default discretion. The mandates below are surfaced with code, region, remit and outcome — the underlying entity, candidate and counterparty detail remains under confidentiality envelope and is only disclosable on engagement under reciprocal NDA.
Refreshed CXO benches across 38 portfolio companies; pre-empted 5 forced replacements and supported 11 successful next-round closes.
Embedded behavioural-telemetry capture across 22 portfolio CEOs; reduced board-vs-founder governance crisis incidence by 64% year on year.
Installed independent chairs ahead of crossover round; 6 of 9 cleared crossover with reduced governance-conditioning.
Built sovereign-grade founding-team diligence framework; now applied across 80+ deployed investments annually.
The regulatory regimes encoded into every successor score.
Each successor in this sector is scored against the regimes below. The skills-matrix is refreshed continuously by the firm's Regulatory Architect team as supervisory expectations migrate — the most recent calibration was applied to every live slate in the current quarter.
LP-facing governance expectations encoded into portfolio-CEO scoring.
GP regulatory regime encoded into firm-level governance attestation.
AI-deployment governance encoded into deep-tech founding-team scoring.
Data-protection reflex encoded into VP-Engineering and General Counsel benches.
Brief the Venture Capital practice lead.
Every sector engagement opens under NDA-by-default discretion and is governed by the regional Managing Partner. Initial briefings are conducted in person or under secure-channel video — never over open email.
