Traditional Diligence vs Accelerator Diligence
What we do differently
Our Focus
Traditional diligence relies on TTM and provides a snapshot based on past performance and current circumstances.
FortéOne Accelerator Diligence is both past and future-focused — identifying opportunities for revenue and margin improvements as well as a company’s ability to implement change and achieve growth.
We don’t stop with where a company is now. We tell you exactly where it could go.
Our Approach
Traditional diligence uses a check-the-box backward-facing approach, with secondary research from separate vendors.
FortéOne Accelerator Diligence is comprehensive — a full picture of the entire business — with a strong focus on the customer.
Why? Because looking at a company piece-by-piece isn’t going to tell the entire story. And nothing represents the state (or potential) of a company more strongly than its positioning with customers.
What We Deliver
Traditional diligence leaves you with a list of things to fix.
FortéOne Accelerator Diligence provides a detailed plan for maximizing enterprise value. We don’t just tell you what’s wrong. We tell you how to fix it, and how to improve on it.
And we don’t stop there.
We work with you side-by-side to implement your plan.
And if we don’t provide the value that we promise? We will refund the difference or continue working for free until we do.

Possible Hurdles
You’re founder-friendly and don’t want to offend leadership
We believe founder-friendly means giving leadership the support and tools they need to succeed. We work WITH your team to get everyone on board with the change process and maintain continuous communication as we move forward.
You don’t see the need for ongoing support
Bringing in help when problems arise is only going to get you so far. To maximize value, you need continuous support driving change and evolution from the inside out.
Any increase in value is good enough
It may feel less risky to maintain a hands-off presence and hope for the best. But what if your success was guaranteed? With FortéOne, it is. While you concentrate on finding your next investment, we’re on the inside, making sure your returns are better than expected.
