“The Investment Analysis provided a detailed and insightful report showing the gaps we needed to address for our next founding round, all backed up with a tremendous amount of useful and relevant data. John’s knowledge and experience were helpful to think through the challenges that a growing business faces and reflect back on our choices. A great learning curve and an invaluable support for founders and leaders who are defining their fundraising strategy.”

Henri Gaskjenn, CEO, Bockatech Ltd

Through the Investment Analysis process, we enjoyed a thorough, research based and personal insight questioning of our funding journey and testing of the IOTICS concept, business model and the company's investment potential. The process and participants were most effectively managed by John to help us evolve a plan and timetable for our next stage. I certainly recommend Duet’s Investment Analysis for those around Series A.

Ian Orrock, Chairman, Iotic Labs Limited

“We cannot recommend Duet’s expert funding preparation service highly enough. The Investment Analysis project exceeded our expectations, providing some remarkable insights into the current funding environment as well as our own investment proposition. We learnt so much through the process and feel equipped to take on the next round of investment. We would highly recommend this to any founder looking to develop their fundraising strategy.”

Alex Coleridge & Tom Montague, Co-founders, GiveStar

"The investment analysis work that Duet does is first class, invaluable and worth every penny. I’d recommend it to any business looking to scale-up and seize every growth opportunity along the way. I also love the fact that they’ve very selective about the businesses with whom they choose to work. You know once they’re on your side, that you’re in the best hands and that they’re putting their ‘might’ behind you."

Merlie Calvert, Founder & CEO, Farillio

"I engaged Duet Partners to run an ‘A' round funding process for the company. They helped us engage with a high quality syndicate combining both financial and strategic VC’s. The process was managed in a highly effective, professional way and we achieved all of the targets we had set for ourselves at the beginning of the project. I would highly recommend John and the team to other organisations looking for VC funding."

Steve Kelly, CEO/Founder, SmartKem

“The Duet team brings a real depth of experience to early stage company building and this was immediately apparent in the funding preparation stage. A well managed capital raise was then successfully undertaken syndicating both VC and strategic investors. We really enjoyed working with John and Jonathan and look forward to further engagements in the future.”

Andy Heaton, Founder & CEO, enModus Ltd

"Duet Partners are the very best at assessing and then delivering the best financing solution available. They have an extensive range of contacts throughout the industry both in the UK, the US and Europe. In my experience, this resulted in investments that supported our long term objectives whilst meeting immediate term needs. A great team to work with and would use them again."

Mike LeGoff, former CEO, Plessey Semiconductors Limited

"Duet provided a clear and insightful analysis of where our business was, and what we needed to do to deliver value, and grow. Those priorities are on my desk and the focus of my activities every week. We much appreciated their work and hope to engage them further in the next round of fundraising."

Chris Smith, Managing Director, G-Volution Ltd

"The Investment Analysis process provided great insight into the current funding market and an excellent critique of our investment proposition. We have since retained Duet to assist in the further development of the funding strategy for the next round and to help ensure our state of readiness. Their advice has been highly valued.”
