As a venture capital (VC) investor, you want to make sure that your money is being put to good use. Therefore, to confirm that you are making a good investment, it’s best to hire a due diligence (DD) partner that can vet your investment target for you. Your due diligence partner should both be knowledgeable in the field of your target company, as well as have the experience and understanding of the overall market and its future potential. You want to make sure that your DD partner is giving you a clear picture of your target company, and give you an understanding of how the business would grow and/or adapt after your investment.
