What's Inside

The 3 questions, scored.

Is the platform investable? Whether your business model supports institutional capital: revenue quality, defensible position, scalable operations, and a value creation thesis beyond deal-by-deal returns.

Is the operator credible? Track record, team depth, and governance. Not credentials on a resume. Demonstrable execution across market cycles.

Is the capital structure sound? Leverage, waterfall, fee alignment, and downside protection under stress.

You score yourself across 12 criteria and leave knowing exactly where your platform stands, and what to fix before your next capital conversation.
