Confidential pre-close & portfolio diligence
VC/PE Due Diligence
Objective leadership and operating diligence for venture capital and private equity firms. We test whether the team and operating discipline can scale the thesis before capital commits.
From pre-close questions to portfolio execution, KEEN SIX connects evidence about people, operating systems, technology, and commercial readiness to the decision in front of you. Scope is agreed confidentially; the investor makes the investment decision.
How it works
The diligence path
01
Define the investment question
Agree what the capital decision depends on.
02
Review the operating evidence
Examine leadership, delivery and commercial reality.
03
Identify risks and conditions for scale
Separate what is proven from what is assumed.
04
Receive clear priorities across the first 90 days
Know where to focus once capital is committed.
What we review
- Leadership team capability, execution range, and succession readiness
- Operating discipline, organizational cadence, and accountability
- Product delivery, manufacturing, supply chain, and scale feasibility
- Commercial readiness, pipeline reality, and customer retention
- AI governance, workflow integration, and technology maturity
- Key downside risks, post-close priorities, and 30-60-90 day milestones
