About

A leading global firm in a new category: Hybrid Growth Diligence.

Our Vision

Setting Standards

We are currently living in an age of opportunity, driven by the twin forces of decarbonization and advances in generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). These forces will impact every business in every sector, similar to the effect of digitization on businesses used to paper-based operations. The only companies that can deliver sustainable growth in today’s world are tech and tech-enabled companies; therefore, every investor must become a tech investor.

Traditional investor silos (e.g. venture capital vs. tech buyout firms vs. private equity) are also a thing of the past – today’s tech paradigm is using a new playbook that imposes new rules for investors when evaluating companies. Investors used to considering businesses in terms of economies of scale and experience curves now have to adapt to an era of digitalization, decarbonization, and sustainability. Only an uncompromising commitment to sustainable growth – through ESG and DEI – will deliver on this imperative.

D’Ornano + Co. was built on the conviction that a new approach to due diligence is needed in this new investment paradigm. This new approach needs to enable investors to tell the difference between a good and a bad company, to select the right deal, and to underwrite it while operating in unchartered territories – without compromising on speed or rigor. To address this need we pioneered a new category of analysis: Hybrid Growth Diligence (HGD).

HGD solves investors’ challenges and helps them gain a first mover advantage by partnering with distinctive, resilient businesses that capitalize on today’s most urgent megatrends and set the stage for tomorrow’s economy.
