You Have Defined Investment Criteria
You know the sectors, investment size, geography and transaction structures you are interested in.
- 02
You Want Direct Business Opportunities

- 03
You Can Evaluate Investment Opportunities
You have the resources and appetite to conduct appropriate diligence and make independent investment decisions.
This isn't the right fit if
- 01
You Want an Unfiltered Deal List
You're looking for hundreds of investment opportunities without a defined investment strategy or screening process.
- 02
You Expect Guaranteed Returns
You're seeking guaranteed returns or risk-free investments rather than opportunities that require independent evaluation and carry investment risk.
- 03
You Don't Have Defined Investment Criteria
You haven't established your preferred sectors, investment size, capital availability, transaction structure or investment timeframe.
Unclear Investment Criteria
Sourcing from a single channel instead of triangulating across networks.
Unstructured Opportunity Screening
Skipping structured diligence on first-time-founder or emerging-manager deals.
Undefined Transaction Parameters
Underestimating the time co-investment structuring actually takes to close.
Why investment criteria matter
What we valued most wasn't deal volume — it was that every opportunity they brought us had already survived their own filter.
