01
Every claim, traced
Each market-size, traction and competitive claim is traced to a primary source that is named, dated and accessible. If it cannot be traced, we flag it.
Investors, angels and funds
Startup Due Diligence for Investors.
Independent startup due diligence for investors: we check each claim in a deal against named, dated sources, grade it A to E and write the strongest rebuttal. A named verifier signs the brief your committee reads, on a 48-hour target from intake.

The accountability gap
Decks Rarely Cite Their Sources.
If diligence only confirms the founder’s story, your committee still gets the same unsourced numbers. We check them independently.
02
A name behind it
A named verifier signs every report, not a model or “the team”. It is the same accountability you ask of the founders you back.
03
Fast enough for live deals
Research across market, buyers, competitors and trends on a 48-hour target from intake acceptance, so it fits live deal flow.
The deliverable
What the brief contains.
A signed PDF: the seven-block Decision Card on page one, the evidence from four pillars behind it (each researched and graded separately), and one named verifier signing the whole.
01
Market intelligence
TAM, SAM and SOM checked against primary industry sources. Growth rates traced to named reports, not deck assumptions. Comparable exits and benchmarks.
02
Audience and demand
The target segment tested against independent demand signals. ICP alignment tested. Acquisition economics benchmarked.
03
Competitive landscape
Verified competitors mapped. Moat claims independently assessed. Positioning gaps and threats the founder may not have named.
04
Macro and trend signals
Regulatory, technology and macro tailwinds and headwinds relevant to the thesis, with sector-specific risk flags.
05
Verdict and adversarial review
A one-paragraph synthesis, then the seven-block Decision Card: the decision, what the evidence shows, the recommended path, why, don’t, test next, watch. The strongest objections are included.
06
Claim-by-claim table
Every headline claim marked Verified, Supported, Flagged or Unverifiable. Each is severity-rated with evidence cited, and each flag gets a written rebuttal. Decision-critical claims are personally re-checked before signing.
Not financial advice. ThriveFinity produces independent validation research. Reports are not regulated financial advice and should not be read as a recommendation to invest or not invest. Investors should conduct their own regulated due diligence.

How it works
How it works, from deck to signed brief.
-
You submit a brief or deck
A deck, a data-room link or a structured brief. Scope is confirmed at intake acceptance; that is when the clock starts.
-
Research across four areas
Market, audience, competitive and trend research run in parallel across your target geographies. Every source is named, dated and graded.
-
Adversarial review
Every finding is challenged: a key-assumptions check, a pre-mortem, the objections a sceptical partner would raise. Contested findings go to human review.
-
Named verifier signs
The lead verifier reads the full report, resolves escalated flags and signs the PDF with their name and a document hash.
-
Signed PDF delivered
Report ID and verification hash on the cover, Decision Card on page one, ready for the IC memo or LP update.
Investor FAQs
What makes this different from a standard market research report?
Every claim is traced to a named, dated source and graded A to E. Every report is signed by a named verifier who stands behind it. We look for evidence against the thesis as well as for it, so the output stands up in an IC memo.
Is this the same as Release Assurance?
No. It uses the same verification process for a different buyer and a different question. Release Assurance answers the founder’s question: can we safely put this in front of the room? Investor diligence answers yours: what should we believe before we commit? You receive the claim-by-claim results and ranked rebuttals as an independent party, and the report is addressed to you, not to the founder.
How long does investor diligence take?
A Decision Brief on a deal is a 48-hour target from intake acceptance. Deck verification (Release Assurance Pack) is 3 business days; a data-room consistency check (Release Assurance Suite) is 5 business days. We accept two Briefs per week. A third is queued and its clock starts later, so tell us your deal cadence early for portfolio work.
What format is the deliverable?
A signed PDF. It carries the verifier’s name, a unique report ID and a verification hash. The Decision Card is page one; the evidence appendix and claim table sit behind it. Watermarked copies are available on request for LP or co-investor sharing.
Can we NDA the engagement?
Yes. A standard mutual NDA is available on any paid tier. For portfolio-level engagements we can work under a framework agreement with a single NDA covering all runs.
Is this financial advice?
No. ThriveFinity produces independent validation research. We verify claims, source evidence and test assumptions. We do not provide regulated investment advice, and nothing in our reports should be read as a recommendation to invest or not invest.
How do you handle proprietary founder data?
Founders submit via our encrypted intake. Data is processed only for the purpose of the engagement, held on EU infrastructure for 90 days by default, and deleted on request. We do not retain or share founder data beyond what is needed to produce the report. Full details are in our privacy policy.
What if the report is wrong?
The Accuracy Commitment applies to every signed tier: if any factual claim in your signed deliverable is not supported by its cited source, or is a factual error we should have caught, tell us within 30 days. We correct and re-sign it within 5 working days; if the correction changes the verdict, we redo it free; if we cannot fix it, you do not pay for that deliverable. The correction is logged publicly on our errata page either way.
Can we white-label the reports?
Yes, for institutional clients under a framework agreement. The verifier’s signature stays, because that is the integrity guarantee, but the cover and branding can reflect your fund.
