Reputation management for founders and investors
Before a fundraise, sale or listing, investors and acquirers search the founders as carefully as the business. We make sure what they find is accurate and complete, and deal with problems before they become due diligence questions.
Situations we handle
- A failed venture or old dispute ranking above current achievements
- Hostile ex-employee or customer threads on forums
- Thin search presence that lets a single negative result dominate
- Pre-deal reputation due diligence on co-founders or targets
Who usually refers
Venture and private equity firms, corporate finance advisers and start-up lawyers.
Confidentiality
We work under NDA and can coordinate with your deal timetable.
Frequently asked questions
How far ahead of a raise should we start?
Ideally three to six months, so search repair has time to take effect.
Can you check a target's founders?
Yes, through reputation due diligence on public information.
Will investors know you are involved?
Not unless you tell them. Everything we publish is attributable to you, not us.
Can you help after a failed company?
Yes. Accurate context about what happened, and what you have done since, is usually the right approach.
