Investment diligence and decision support · East Africa
Make the investment decision on evidence, not the pitch.
We help funds and advisers evaluate early-stage, SME and impact opportunities.
What does the evidence support, what could break the case, and what should the investor do next?
The pitch, model, financial records and operating reality may not tell the same story. Navy Blue establishes what is supported, what remains uncertain and how those findings should affect the investment case.
- 01Reconcile the story with the numbers
- 02Verify operations beyond management calls
- 03Turn findings into action
Financial evidenceCash records, historical performance, unit economics and downside resilience.
Operational realitySite visits, capacity checks and interviews beyond the founder.
Risk structureClear mitigants, conditions precedent, covenants and monitoring priorities.
IC clarityEvidence distilled for a clear investment-committee decision.
Decision support scoped to the investment question.
For each mandate, we define the evidence standard and the work needed to reach a credible view.
