Whether you’re an investor or an entrepreneur, the most vital but least understood part of the investment process is due diligence, the deep dive into how investable a company really is. When done properly it can lead to success for both sides, but if misjudged, it’s a costly guarantee of failure.
Bernie Dixon, chairman and president of Atlanta Tech Angels expressed that only 50% of companies undergoing due diligence with ATA actually move to the funding stage. And it’s even less in most investment organizations, so entrepreneurs need to be prepared for what to expect – with due diligence ranking high on the list of deal makers (or breakers).
Join the Angels this Thursday, March 17, as four subject-matter experts share their insider knowledge on due diligence.
You’ll hear directly from the pros about:
- How they analyze a market
- How the CEO and team are scrutinized
- How technology can be evaluated
- How company financials relate to overall valuation.
In the spirit of Saint Patty’s Day, Guinness and other Irish-inspired libations will be served.
