Pioneering a new form
of advisory to assess High-Growth + Disruptive assets.

We help global investors and strategic acquirers correctly assess the intrinsic value and resilience of uncertain and rapidly evolving companies.

We are a global consultancy firm pioneering Hybrid Growth Diligence (HGD), a better way to assess high-growth and disruptive assets.

GenAI, Digitalization, and Sustainability are global megatrends reshaping the business landscape. Legacy assessment frameworks for businesses impacted by these trends need to be similarly reshaped. Enter HGD.

Our methodology breaks legacy assessment silos to layer strategic Financial, Legal and ESG analysis on top of a preliminary understanding of a company’s business model and operational data. With deep expertise in tech and over 550+ assignments completed on companies driving innovation across Europe and the US, our team’s guidance provides investors with superior insights into disruptive tech assets.

D’ORNANO + CO. PERFORMED HYBRID GROWTH DILIGENCE ON A FRENCH FINTECH SOFTWARE COMPANY IN THE CONTEXT OF A BUYOUT OPERATION

The investor wanted to complete a Buyout of a company that develops a financial technology platform for electronic trading and investment management. The company recently moved into hyper-growth mode as its automated trading solutions and algorithmic technology gained traction thanks to new and expanding asset trading, including crypto currencies. Yet, it remained vulnerable to the volatility of its clients’ trading businesses as well as the broader liquidity and commodity markets. Still, with equity and commodity investors and traders pushing for new and innovative ways to find returns, the company seemed well-positioned to seize a growing opportunity to serve partners trying to stay ahead of rapidly evolving trading and investing systems.
