01 / PRE-INVESTMENT INTELLIGENCEBLACKFILE reviews founders, beneficial owners, project history, corporate structure, key contracts and external premises before an investor takes on an irreversible commitment.
We show which parts of the investment thesis are confirmed, which depend on a single party, and which require a condition, further diligence or walking away from the deal.
Founders · Ownership · Market Claims · Contracts · Deal Risk
A project may look convincing but depend on a single founder, an unconfirmed contract, a related supplier, a permit, disputed IP or capital whose origin is undisclosed. Investment Intelligence turns the project's claims into verifiable statements and decision conditions.
who controls the project
what already exists and what is only planned
which statements are independently confirmed
which counterparties and permits the model depends on
what should be included in the deal conditions
Check the team, IP, legal structure and early demand confirmations.
No overall score is produced without a transparent methodology. Only one material gap in the investment hypothesis is flagged in red.
biography, past projects, roles, conflicts and public factors
shareholdings, rights, related parties and changes
investors, stated sources, convertible instruments and obligations within the available data
stated ownership, licenses, dependencies and questions for technical/legal review
independent verifiability of clients, partnerships, permits and metrics
model logic, concentration, related parties and anomalies; not an audit
applicable limitations, sanctions, licensing and country risk
investor rights, terms, milestones and exit points as questions for lawyers
Материал проекта не принимается за независимое подтверждение.
the thesis is confirmed: the next step is specialist advisors
the deal is viable once terms and milestones are closed out
material gap: proceed only after verification
No automatic recommendation is produced without client involvement.
What in the project is independently confirmed, and what remains the founders' word?
ResultVerified facts, dependencies and conditions before money changes hands.
The examples are composite and do not describe a specific client.
The startup cited a strategic partnership as the basis for growth. Independent sources confirmed only a pilot of limited duration with no obligation to scale.
ResultThe investment hypothesis was recalculated, and confirmation of the contract was included in the terms of the next stage.
The technology, client relationships and key permits were in fact concentrated with a single founder, although the project's structure appeared distributed.
ResultThe dependency map shaped questions on IP, authority and the continuity plan prior to signing the documents.
Illustrative image. The scenario is composite.

Coordination of the verification of a complex investment with a team of advisers.
The cost depends on the stage, number of participants, countries and statements to be verified. BLACKFILE does not guarantee returns and does not provide personal investment advice.
BLACKFILE verifies facts and dependencies within the limits of available data. We do not conduct an audit without the corresponding authority, do not assess technology in place of a specialised expert, do not give a tax or legal opinion, and do not predict the success of a project with a guarantee.
Investment Intelligence examines the investment thesis, team, dependencies and structure of a specific decision. Company Due Diligence examines an operating company more broadly.
We analyse its logic, external assumptions and inconsistencies. A full financial review or audit is performed by a specialised professional.
Yes, but the conclusions will be limited to the confirmations available. Particular attention shifts to the team, IP, structure, pilots and dependencies.
No. BLACKFILE provides verifiable facts, risks, gaps and scenarios for the investor's decision.
Yes, provided the task is lawful and sufficient identifiers and sources are available.
The team composition, access to materials and transmission channel are agreed once the task has been reviewed. No documents are requested at the initial stage.
At the first stage, it is sufficient to indicate the stage, sector, countries, the intended participation size as a range, and the key concern.
