Where we plug in
Manager research and GP diligence for Corporate VC investment committees.
Typical profiles
Mandate signals
Engagement model
From strategic mandate framing to manager review, IC support and monitoring.
Mapping the field
We map funds and deals by stage and sector, so your team starts with a short, relevant list instead of fifty inbound pitches.
Building the comparison
We put manager materials into a side-by-side comparison on terms, track record and ownership, so your team can see the gaps at a glance.
Making the case for strategic value
We help set out the strategic value on offer, whether that's technology visibility, partnership potential or financial return, so the investment committee can weigh it against other uses of capital.
Monitoring after IC approval
Once the committee approves and capital is committed, we track manager reporting, capital calls and material changes, and flag what needs attention.
AIF routes for this mandate
Match the category to the job the capital needs to do.
Category is the first filter, not a label added after manager selection. It changes what the fund can own, how liquidity works, where tax is applied and which risks must be diligenced.
How we help corporate VC
We help your team make a case that holds up to scrutiny.
Corporate VC and institutional decisions usually sit between big strategic ambitions and a committee that wants proof. We focus on giving you real evidence and clear reasoning, not vague pitches.
Getting clear on the goal
We start with what you actually want: strategic value, technology visibility, financial return, or some mix. That changes which managers are worth screening.
Mapping the right managers
We map fund managers across venture, growth and buyout, by stage and sector, with a close eye on semiconductors, industrial systems and AI.
Preparing your team
We put comparisons together so your investment team, strategy office or committee can weigh managers on fit, ownership stake and evidence.
Following through
As the process moves forward, we help coordinate with the manager and support due diligence, rather than leaving you to figure it out.
Common questions
Questions that usually come up inside the mandate.
Continue the research path
Start with your capital context. Then compare the manager universe.
These routes connect the audience question to the research question, so you can move from a personal or institutional mandate into the relevant fund category, published report or next conversation.
