Technical due diligence, market research, and strategic advisory for fund managers investing in AI companies.
Every pitch deck claims state-of-the-art AI. Most investors can't tell what's real from what's hype. We can. Avaantage Diligence combines deep AI technical expertise with investment focus to help you avoid costly mistakes and catch the real winners.
You're seeing more AI deals than ever. Each founder promises revolutionary technology, defensible moats, and category dominance.
But here's the reality:
85% of "AI companies" are just automation with basic ML, not defensible AI
Most founding teams lack the AI expertise they claim, leading to failed execution
Technical differentiation is often imaginary, with no real competitive advantage
Due diligence questionnaires don't uncover the truth—founders game the system
One bad AI investment can cost you $10M-$50M+. One missed winner can cost you 100x returns.
You need a technical partner who can:
Separate real AI from automation theater
Assess founding team competence honestly
Identify true competitive moats
Spot red flags before you commit capital
