The Problem

Your name goes with every business you back, so a problem you could not see reflects on you.

  • Accelerators and incubators: a cohort you cannot see inside.

  • Investors and funds: problems that surface after you invest.

  • Grant bodies: reputational risk is real, funding is awarded to the most deserving.

  • Banks and lenders: exposure in crucial areas, bad news stories travel.

  • Universities and spin-outs: new employers carrying your institution’s name.

  • Growth hubs and networks: every business reflects on your network.

The Solution

HIRE gives you a clear picture of every business, through THE CHECK and the HIRE 3D Audit.

  • Speak to us: tell us about your cohort, fund or portfolio.

  • Choose the review: THE CHECK or the HIRE 3D Audit, matched to each business.

  • Agree what is shared: we agree with you and each founder what the report covers.

  • Review: we meet each founder, gather the evidence and review every business in the same way.

  • Report: each founder receives a clear report and a route to put gaps right.

  • Follow up: optional follow up to see changes have been actioned.
