Leadership Due Diligence

01

Executive Transition Lab-to-CEO

Our Lab-to-CEO program accelerates the evolution of academic founders into sophisticated venture leaders. By focusing on strategic awareness and operational maturity, we empower first-time CEOs to master delegation, navigate complex investor dynamics, and mitigate HDS derailers under pressure—seamlessly translating scientific rigor into scalable enterprise growth.

​

Transition Governance

02

Venture Human Capital Risk Audit

Quantifying leadership risk for VCs and TTOs through specialised human capital due diligence. We audit proposed  teams to expose latent behavioral vulnerabilities and structural interpersonal risks. Each engagement delivers a Human Capital Risk Register with targeted mitigation plans to secure Series A capital and maximize asset value.

Investor Preparedness

03

Co-Founder and SLT alignment 
 

The Co-Founder Alignment Blueprint helps multi-founder spin-out teams or founder and Senior Leadership Team members align before equity allocation or Series A funding. Through psychometric profiling, we establish clear roles, map complementary strengths, and embed conflict resolution protocols—delivering a binding Team Charter that locks in cohesion and protects founder equity.

Hogan Assessment Framework

Strategic Awareness

We leverage Hogan assessments to provide founders with a clear view of their professional reputation. By pinpointing blind spots and stress triggers, we deliver a targeted roadmap that strengthens leadership, enhances team focus, and secures startup governance.
