Take the Founder Evaluation Checklist
Founder diligence is high-impact—but often inconsistent
Founders are the single biggest driver of execution risk, yet many diligence processes lean heavily on unstructured interviews and gut feel. A more consistent, data-ready approach helps you compare opportunities apples-to-apples, brief your IC faster, and support founders better post-close.
Clarity
Align expectations early with a documented view of the founder
Comparability
Evaluate multiple founders with a consistent rubric
Continuity
Carry insights forward into board work and operating plans
Turn founder evaluation into a repeatable, tech-enabled workflow
If your score shows room to improve, we'll show you simple ways to bring structure, transparency, and technology into your process—without slowing deals down.
