The Due Diligence Experts: Why Pitch Decks Don't Cut It Anymore
Description
Most people find out what's wrong with a deal after they've signed it. Johnny Quattro and Steve Walshe get paid to find it first.
Johnny Quattro spent thirty years building, failing and rebuilding businesses before he set up Goodrich Partners, a due diligence firm built to do the digging most investors never get around to. Steve Walshe built the analysis engine behind it, the technology that scores a business across financials, founder history, exposure and sector analyses before anyone puts money on the table.
Sam first came across Johnny years ago. That conversation has now turned into a formal partnership. Goodrich is the analytical and intelligence layer underneath every deal that comes through The Rural Bridge, pulling apart what a pitch deck won't show you before Sam brings an opportunity to the community.
