Information session on Columbia Business School Executive Education’s VC Due Diligence (Online)

Due diligence is essential for evaluating potential investments, as it creates transparency and insights that drive profitability and minimize risk. Startups can also benefit from the process to improve their chances of securing funding. Despite these benefits, many organizations skip the due diligence step into their dealmaking strategy. As per a PwC report, 8 out of 10 companies fail the M&A process due to a lack of pre-transition due diligence. The VC Due Diligence (Online) program, designed and led by expert faculty Angela Lee, provides a framework for learning the due diligence process, focusing on core elements that indicate the potential success of a deal in today's volatile market. Angela Lee is a professor of professional practice at Columbia Business School and founder of 37 Angels, a startup investment network that has evaluated over 25,000 deals.
