Due diligence for founders, investment teams and co-investments.

In the venture capital and private equity world, traditional due diligence is centered around assessing a target company’s financial health, competitive landscape, business model and overall potential.These metrics are still highly relevant. But today there’s a new and necessary layer to the due diligence process: online and social media screening.

People now live much of their lives online. With Fama, it’s possible to use AI technology to screen the public online activity of company founders and management teams and see if that activity indicates a risk for fraud, harassment, threats or other misconduct.

Ensure Legal and Regulatory Requirements Are Met

Be Ahead of New SEC Rules

Concerned by the rising tide of startup fraud, the SEC is said to be finalizing a rule aimed at making it easier for LP investors to bring lawsuits against venture capitalists, PE firms and hedge funds for misconduct, negligence or recklessness. If passed, the rule would expose investment firms to litigation from LPs if proper due diligence is not done during a completed transaction and hit firms in their pocketbook.
