Navigating Venture Capital Due Diligence

The Challenge

Thinkbridge initially partnered with an outsourced financial services firm to develop a modern finance and accounting reporting platform for their business. At the same time they were starting the process of raising additional capital to help fuel their aggressive growth strategy.

To secure the necessary funding, however, our client was faced with completing a 30-page technology questionnaire as part of a VC due diligence process. As a small business, our client knew this would require a significant investment in time and resources, both of which were already scarce, to complete the task.

Our Solution

With a working knowledge of our client’s existing technology infrastructure as well as our vast experience navigating the VC funding process, thinkbridge was enlisted to help expedite the task of completing the questionnaire to secure the additional funding.

With our disciplined approach and proven expertise in technology strategy, we were able to complete the questionnaire and compile all required supporting documentation in a single day. As a result, the due diligence timeline was shortened by a month and our client was quickly awarded a new round of funding.
