Due Diligence is a process undertaken by angels and/or angel groups to determine whether or not to invest in a particular start-up organization. This course covers the essentials of both the process of conducting due diligence and the various due diligence components. Participants will learn how to weigh factors such as the expertise of the founding team, product-market fit, potential market size, proposed business model, legal and IP protections, etc. The course also explains what might be potential due diligence deal killers which new angel investors need to avoid.
