Independent Due Diligence for Equity Crowdfunding

Blunt, forensic-grade analysis for investors

Every week, retail investors lose money to overhyped campaigns, inflated valuations, and founders who shouldn’t be anywhere near a raise.

We cut through the noise with professional, independent due diligence reports designed to protect your capital.

No hype. No sugar-coating. No conflicts of interest.

Why Us?

Unmatched Expertise

Over a decade of frontline experience investigating, rating, and exposing crowdfunding campaigns. We know every trick, every pattern, and every red flag founders hope no one notices.

Blunt, Unbiased, Independent

We don’t soft-pedal findings to keep anyone happy. Your interests come first always.

Investigative Intelligence

Our process combines:

  • OSINT methods
  • Financial plausibility analysis
  • Founder behavior profiling
  • Campaign claim verification
  • Deep competitor and market validation

This is not a “marketing review.” This is forensic due diligence built for modern crowdfunding.

We Reveal What Others Miss:

Platforms don’t have time.

Founders won’t volunteer their skeletons.

Retail investors don’t know where to look.

We close that gap.

Our investigations have exposed:

  • Inflated revenue claims

  • Nonexistent patents

  • Fake advisory boards

  • Falsified founder experience

  • Impossible technology claims

  • Hidden debt and unresolved litigation

  • Teams with a history of failed raises and burned investors

If it’s there, we’ll find it.

Zero conflicts. Zero commissions. Zero leniency.
