Behind the bet: How due diligence saved an ailing portfolio venture

You don’t need to wait for a venture to fail to know something’s wrong. Sometimes, the signs are quieter: slow decisions, rising costs, or a board that’s asking the same questions again and again.

In this whitepaper, we share what happens when ventures start drifting, and how venture due diligence can help you find out why.

Through a real client case, we show how a stalled venture regained focus by uncovering structural issues that weren’t visible from the outside.

Through this case, you’ll learn:

• How ventures lose momentum even when the fundamentals look fine.
• What red flags usually go unnoticed — and how to read them early.
• How a clear, structured due diligence can help you fix what’s really wrong.

‍Who is this for?
This whitepaper is written for innovation and portfolio managers who need clarity before committing more time, money, or trust.

Before you build, scale, or pivot, make sure you’re seeing the full picture.
