Interviews will contribute to our insight and assessment of team quality, impact potential, your product, business model, scalability & accelerator fit.

    Due diligence means understanding your organisation’s current situation and what is required in order to reach both business and technological milestones. The global potential of your company is also assessed. We additionally conduct a deep dive impact screening to assess the overall impact of your operations and how aligned and integrated it is with the company strategy.
