Advisory

The review you run before you write the check.

A quantum deal lands on your desk. You get a productized FDD review of the target company: a financial and structural read, plus a quantum scientist verdict on the technical claim. Days, not weeks.

What you get

Two reads, one short deliverable.

Calibrated for a pre-seed or seed target: a team, some IP, a claim. No pretend audit of financials that do not exist yet. The review goes after what kills or validates a deep tech deal early.

Financial and structural read

The money side, the way it actually looks at pre-seed.

  • Cap table and dilution path
  • Runway and burn
  • Grant dependency, non-dilutive funding read as funding, not revenue
  • Structural red flags

Verdict on the technical claim

The one question your team cannot answer alone.

  • Is the claim credible, scored credible, mixed or weak
  • IP ownership and the spin-out chain
  • Technology readiness, the real TRL
  • A reviewer matched to the modality
How it works

Days, not weeks.

A pre-seed deal moves fast. The review keeps that pace, because it is productized, not a bespoke mission.

01

Intake

You submit the target and whatever documents exist. Fixed fee confirmed.

02

Financial read

The operator works the cap table, runway, grant flow and structure.

03

Claim opinion

A modality-matched scientist gives a bounded verdict on the technical claim.

04

Delivery

A short structured deliverable: verdict and red flags up front.

Pricing

3 to 6k per company.

Fixed fee, announced at intake. The low end for a simple target, the high end for a complex hardware modality or a long IP chain.

$3-6k / company reviewed
On a 50 to 250k check, a 3 to 6k review is a proportionate cost. The old bespoke FDD at 35 to 60k was built for Series A and B funds, it never fit a seed check. This one does.
