An independent financial filter and investment memo on the investor’s side
Startup and project due diligence for investors, funds and investment platforms is an independent financial filter on the investor’s side. We separate the projects that deserve your partners’ time from attractive but weak materials: we check the logic, market, economics, use of funds and risks, and prepare an investment memo with a “proceed / reject / request data” recommendation. The decision stays with the investor.
There are many applications and decks and little partner time. The aim is not to review more projects but to separate investable cases from ones that look strong and are weak underneath — faster. We do not compete with the fund or investor or make decisions for them; we strengthen their process where a financial review and a decision document are needed.

We came to Finetic Consulting for a business plan and financial model for our project IMSKIPPER.NET. We liked how quickly Vladislav prepares documents and how deeply he works them through. It is comfortable to work together: every question can be discussed at online meetings while the work is in progress.Georgy Im, owner of IMSKIPPER · Translated from Russian.
15–30 minutes: your investment focus, deal flow and working format. We quote the price after the call.
A short decision document: the essence of the project, what was checked, strengths, red flags and hidden assumptions, questions for the founder and a recommendation — proceed, reject or request data.
It depends on depth: quick filter, investment assessment or pre-investment review. For a regular deal flow — a retainer or a fee per memo. We quote the price after the introductory call.
Both: funds, investment platforms, business angels, boards of directors and private investors who need an independent view of a project before investing.
Yes. We formalise criteria aligned with your investment thesis, set up an intake questionnaire and run initial screening: a short note and a status for each project.
A project review answers whether it is worth spending time and money on the project and on what terms. Full due diligence is a detailed pre-signing check, usually with lawyers and auditors; in package C we prepare the brief for it.
