Due Diligence Goes Both Ways

with Christine Mendonça, Managing Director, Shore to Shore Advisory

The due diligence process should not be a one-way street. Far too often it’s the investors that do most of the investigating, when entrepreneurs have a responsibility to themselves, their organization, customers, and their mission to perform due diligence on their potential partners. As an entrepreneur you really need to know who your potential investor is before you sign on the dotted line. In her talk, Christine Mendonça, goes through the process of how to screen potential investors, perform investor due diligence, and navigate best fit. It can’t and shouldn’t be all about the money.  Doing the work now, ensures that after the deals done you have right partners at the table to navigate growing your social venture.
