The firm
A new firm built on twenty-five years of the work it does.
Frontier and emerging markets produce good companies that fail international scrutiny for reasons that are fixable and knowable in advance. That gap is the business.
How we work
Partner-led. Every mandate is run by a partner rather than passed down, with specialists engaged for the work the mandate actually needs. Scope is fixed and the deliverable is named before we start — a gap report, a valuation, a function built and handed over — because an engagement measured in days is an engagement nobody can check.
The firm was incorporated in September 2026. The work behind it is our partners', and every mandate on the work page carries its dates and its attribution.
A practice with senior people behind it
Our partners' careers run through a multilateral development bank, the private-sector arm of a development finance institution, a French corporate and investment bank, a Big Four firm, a European private-equity house and a sovereign-linked direct investment fund — in investment analysis, risk, fund formation and investor relations.
Between them, board directorships at companies valued above $140 million, and two decades and more each at partner level. We work from London, with a standing presence in Tashkent, and engage specialists per mandate.
What that bench has delivered
- 90+ venture due-diligence reports under a single assessment framework, across eight jurisdictions
- An investor-relations function built from nothing for an IPO-bound bank, and handed over running
- Institutional equity research and DCF and peer-multiple valuations on a sovereign fund's portfolio, ahead of a dual London and Tashkent listing
- Fund structure, governance and DFI-standard alignment for a frontier pre-IPO vehicle
Delivered by our partners before the firm's formation in September 2026. Dates on each mandate are shown on the work page.
Why we build software
A method that can only be described is a claim. A method a stranger can run is evidence. The 8 terminals we operate are the same assessment engine the practice uses, published so that anyone can put their own company through it before they talk to us — and so that what we say about our work can be checked rather than believed.
They are free at the entry point and paid at the depth. That is not a funnel trick: the free tier answers the question most visitors actually have, and the people who need more have already told us what they need by using it.
