Investment screening

Screening Potential Investments — my 3-step approach

Step 1: I will either evaluate the investment opportunities you provide or apply a tailored set of filters — such as industry and geographic focus, size, ownership structure and value-creation potential — to identify a short-list of high-quality candidates.

Step 2: For each shortlisted candidate, I conduct a sharp initial assessment. I examine business model viability, market position, technology and competitive edge, sales/ marketing effectiveness, revenue/margin trends and growth potential—anything that influences future cash flows. I assess management’s execution capability, test underlying assumptions and flag early risk indicators.

Step 3: You receive a clear, executive-ready report summarising the strengths and weaknesses of each investment opportunity, giving you the confidence to decide whether to advance to a full due-diligence review.

By doing so, I save you time, reduce opportunity cost and ensure your focus remains on deals with genuine upside and controllable risk

Market and competitive analysis

I conduct rigorous market and competitive analyses, assessing a firm’s position relative to its competitors. I analyse forces such as threat of new entrants, bargaining power of suppliers and customers, threat of substitute products and of regulations, and the intensity of competitive rivalry within the industry. Advantages arising from a company’s technological capabilities are also examined.

By mapping these forces, I identify structural challenges, competitive pressures, and areas of strategic advantage, while assessing market size, growth trends, and regulatory considerations. I also evaluate the most promising market segments where the company has potential to expand and capture new growth.

This equips investors with actionable, data-driven insights to make informed decisions and identify paths for sustainable value creation

Technological advantage analysis

I assess a company’s technologies and intellectual property to determine its genuine competitive edge and growth potential.

By benchmarking these assets against competing technologies and emerging industry trends, we gain a clear understanding of the distinctiveness, effectiveness, and scalability of the firm’s technological capabilities.

This approach enables a thorough evaluation of strengths, risks, and innovation gaps, providing investors with clear, actionable insights into the technology-driven levers that create lasting value.

Evaluating the Management Team

I assess the strength and effectiveness of a company’s management team, evaluating both individual competencies in key roles—such as CEO, CFO, and Sales Director—and the team’s overall dynamics and collaboration. This includes identifying gaps in expertise, assessing the team’s ability to drive and manage growth, and evaluating their leadership capabilities to guide the company into the future.

By combining structured analysis with industry experience, I provide investors with a clear understanding of whether the leadership team can deliver on strategic objectives, navigate challenges, and create sustainable long-term value.

Financial modelling and DCF-valuations

I provide comprehensive valuations of both enterprise and equity value using Discounted Cashflow (DCF) models. These are fully integrated financial models that estimate all expected future cashflows from operations, investments, and financing activities, including a terminal value, and apply an appropriate discount rate to reflect risk and the time value of money.

From this analysis, I derive robust valuations of a company’s cashflow streams and overall worth.

Such models also allow for detailed sensitivity analyses of key value drivers, providing investors with clear insights into how changes in assumptions impact valuation outcomes and helping them better understand the dynamics of the underlying business model.

Investment memoranda and pitch decks

I prepare professional investment memoranda and pitch decks that clearly communicate the value, risks and strategic rationale of an opportunity to external stakeholders. These materials are designed for potential co-investors, limited partners, lenders, regulators, strategic partners and other parties involved in the investment process.

Each document combines rigorous analysis with a compelling narrative, enabling recipients to quickly grasp the investment case and evaluate its merits with confidence.

Drawing on my own experience in deal execution and investor communication, I understand precisely what information these audiences need—and how they expect it to be presented.

Decision presentations for partners and committees

I create concise, insight-driven presentations that provide investment partners and committees with the essential information needed to make well-founded decisions. Drawing on my experience at McKinsey, I know how to distill complex topics into well- structured presentations with sharp statements, clear logic, and actionable recommendations.

From my own experience participating in investment decisions, I understand exactly what decision-makers want to see—and how they want it presented. Each presentation highlights the most critical value drivers, risks, sensitivities, and strategic options, providing a data-backed foundation for fast, confident, and well-informed decisions.

Decision-makers receive a clear, actionable recommendation that enables fast and confident decisions.

Independent second opinion on deals

I provide an objective, expert second opinion on potential investments, offering investors a critical perspective that complements internal analyses and due diligence.

Drawing on my experience across strategy, finance, and deal execution, I rigorously review business models, financial models, valuations, technological advantages, market positioning, and key risks.

By challenging assumptions, identifying blind spots, and exploring alternative scenarios, I help investors validate their conclusions and gain fresh insights.

This independent second opinion gives decision-makers confidence in their investment choices and ensures that potential deals are thoroughly evaluated from every angle before commitment.
