Core questions
- Explain capital use, operating plans and value drivers
- Understand financing rights and potential dilution
- Prepare diligence materials and assess financing constraints
Business economics and operating evidence
Explain how the company earns revenue, acquires customers, pays operating costs, and generates or uses cash. Identify whether growth depends on recurring demand, one-off contracts, marketing incentives, or continued external funding. Business claims should be connected with records that can be independently examined
Review margins, customer concentration, retention where relevant, and the capital needed to expand. A growing revenue figure is not by itself proof of sustainable economics. The research should distinguish management expectations from observed performance and state the assumptions used to bridge the two
Capital requirements and runway
Describe the amount of capital sought, the intended use, and the milestones it is expected to support. Separate operating expenses, investment in assets, working capital, and financing costs. A runway estimate depends on the timing of receipts and payments, not only an average monthly expense figure
Compare baseline and adverse scenarios for sales, costs, collection delays, and financing availability. Identify when further capital might be needed and what actions remain available if the planned funding is delayed. A funding target is not evidence that investors will commit on those terms
Valuation and financing structures
Examine the valuation method and the business assumptions supporting it. Comparable companies, transaction evidence, and cash-flow scenarios can answer different questions. A reported financing valuation does not establish an executable value for every class of share or a future sale price
Compare equity and other proposed structures through their rights, obligations, and effect on future decisions. Preferred terms, conversion provisions, and new issuance can change existing ownership economics. Legal documents require review by appropriate professionals; this framework does not provide securities issuance or legal services
Ownership, dilution, and governance
Review the capitalization table, option commitments, outstanding instruments, and the rights attached to each class. Evaluate how new financing can change ownership percentages, voting, and distribution priorities. The headline investment amount alone does not describe the effect on founders or existing investors
Clarify decision authority, board or approval rights, information access, and how conflicts are handled. Governance should support the business plan while making responsibilities understandable. A minority ownership interest can carry limited control even when an investor provides significant capital
Due diligence readiness and development scenarios
Potential preparation materials include a business-model explanation, financial records, use-of-capital analysis, ownership summary, and a list of unresolved diligence questions. Evidence should be dated, internally consistent, and clear about estimates. Confidential or sensitive records need an agreed handling process
Assess development and exit possibilities alongside failure, delay, dilution, and additional-funding scenarios. This category explains research and preparation needs; it does not establish capital raising, placement, underwriting, investor introductions, or a confirmed financing commitment by NEXORA
