The HFHC is a quick and simple commercial diagnostic for investors, to assess whether a portfolio company is likely to deliver on its vision and strategy in reality. It’s the human factor part of the due diligence process. No point having a winning idea, if you can’t deliver in practice.

Culture can remain stubbornly consistent, irrespective of a change in your strategy.

Speed of execution is critical. Speed is hard to get. Speed is about people. Leaders drive speed.

The HFHC uncovers the human factor of whether employees are aligned with company goals and are in tune with leadership, where gaps lie and what to do about them to accelerate results.

Three parts:

(1) leadership team assessment

(2) employee alignment survey

(3) interviews with founders and key team members

You receive written recommendations and a verbal debrief, for both investor and portfolio company

The HFHC is suitable for :

1. VC and private equity companies wanting a human factor due diligence

2. start-ups and SMEs looking to scale

3. departments of large corporations looking to assess awareness of and alignment with overall company direction

Tried and tested Europe wide, across tech and non-tech sectors, for both social impact and pure profit SMEs, from fledgling start-ups (Seed Capital) through to Series C scale ups, for venture capital and private equity investors…..
