Due Diligence
StartupOS enables automated buy-side due diligence for investment or acquisition. By having third party verified ground truth, we are able to instantly assess a company's financial position, and report it to a potential investor or acquirer in real time.
How Does it Work?
The deal team enters the email address of their contact at the company they want to diligence, and select the categories they want to request.
We handle the rest.
You can follow the status of your target from our web application portal, but we provide technical support, reminder emails, and proactively send the report when it's ready. The scan can be completed in as little as 24 hours (depending on the target), and you'll receive a PDF report immediately.
You can optionally schedule a readout with a subject matter expert to review the report. You can book the readout whenever is convenient using our Calendly link.

What Can it do?
Just by entering their credentials into our secure OAuth portal, StartupOS is able to read a company's last 3 years of transactions thanks to our partnership with Plaid.
From there, through a combination of historical data, machine learning, and complex analysis, we are able to determine cash burn rate, COGS, SG&A, and labor vs non-labor costs.
By linking their HRIS solution, StartupOS can calculate employee retention, turnover, and other key indicators of success. Once the company is in our system, they can share these reports with granular permissions with future investors, acquirers, or board members with the click of a button.
Investors and board members can continue to monitor their portfolios on an ongoing basis in real-time. This enables them to fulfill their statutory obligations through our platform, as they will be alerted well in advance of a liquidation event, allowing them to step in and intervene regardless of whether a founder is forthcoming in their darkest hours.
Our system helps to identify and mitigate financial and leadership risk, in a safe, fast, and thoroughly data-driven way.
In addition, our latest feature tracks headcount and compensation by gender and race for companies that collect that data during their employment process.
This enables funds to report this data back to their LPs and track changes to show how their portfolio companies were tracking at investment/acquisition, and how they've improved during the fund's holding period.
