Who performs the due diligence?
Following a tried and true methodology, the Managing Directors run each due diligence effort, and are supported by volunteers from the Membership. Frequently, Hub will engage industry and academic experts to help with diligence (particularly technology and markets), and oftentimes this includes legal review of patents, CEO behavioral analysis, and background checks of the senior management. Members with domain expertise typically volunteer to support the due diligence of a company in their area. There is no requirement that any Member participate in due diligence. People go where their time, expertise and interest takes them.
