D’Ornano + Co. has built a methodology – Hybrid Growth Diligence – for assessing the intrinsic value and resilience of high-growth and disruptive businesses across industry sectors.Methodology

An Asset-Based Approach

D’Ornano + Co. focuses on assessing Growth Assets, those requiring the capture of new metrics.

Growth Assets fall into two categories:

  • The “Disruptors”: Technology or Sustainability companies, driving the change towards the megatrends of Digitalization, Decarbonization and Sustainability.
  • The “Agile Incumbents”: Companies across all sectors of the economy who place these megatrends front and center in their business models.

These Growth Assets span multiple geographies, industry sectors, asset-classes (VC/PE/Infra/etc.) and development stages (Early-stage, Growth, Buyout, etc.).

The Hybrid Growth Diligence Playbook

The D’Ornano + Co. Playbook is at the core of our differentiated approach to due diligence for high-growth and disruptive companies. Specific to Growth Assets, it allows private market investors and strategic acquirers to understand the quality of a company’s growth and profitability trajectory, as well as the material legal and ESG risks.
