Rethinking how we back Entrepreneurs

Research shows 70% of upstart tech companies fail — usually around 20 months after first raising financing (with around $1.3M in total funding closed). The failure rate shoots up to 95% when it comes to companies that raised through crowdfunding platforms*. With so many deals and so much capital burned, we think it’s time to rethink venture funding and improve the odds of success.

Our unique methodology – AMANI™ – identifies red-flags and markers others overlook, but impact the rate of success.

Case Study

When a company is receiving a lot of attention and significant funding, it takes great resolve to buck the trend and quash FOMO (fear of missing out). It is wise to take time to peel back the layers and do proper due diligence.
