Recent Answers

Venture Capital

What due diligence should be expected for a seed investment from seed fund(s) and individuals?


Peter Holt

Managing General Partner at Seaforth Partners, LLC

Varies greatly due to company focus and product(s) and/or services contemplated, but diligence focus at this level is usually focused on product viability and market opportunity, competitive landscape, team and path to market.

Due diligence

Is it normal for the investors' lawyers to request full access to the founders' email in a due-diligence?


Peter Holt

Managing General Partner at Seaforth Partners, LLC

As others have stated, this is in my experience, a unique and absurd request that is totally uncalled for and has no precedent.

Fundraising

What are some warning signs to look for in dealings with VC firms and individual investors?


Peter Holt

Managing General Partner at Seaforth Partners, LLC

Ask for a list of entrepreneur teams and companies they have funded, and google the funding rounds to look for their participation. Usually, legitimate money will be more circumspect than the less professional, and occasionally questionable sources.
