Investment Research & Analysis

Investment Ark provides advanced research and financial analysis solutions tailored to private equity firms, venture capital funds, family offices, and other investors. Our ex–Big 4 professionals, former investment bankers, and CFAs deliver Wall Street-level valuations, scenario modeling, and industry research, flexibly supporting diverse investment needs. Our integrated approach combines rigorous quantitative analysis—including detailed valuations and bottom-up financial modeling—with qualitative assessments of management strength, scalability, operational efficiency, and market alignment.

Financial Due Diligence

Investment Ark conducts rigorous financial due diligence, validating key assumptions and uncovering critical risks before capital commitment. Our team evaluates historical financials, cash flow dynamics, and core business drivers to confirm reported performance aligns with underlying realities.

Utilizing methodologies trusted by leading venture capital and private equity firms, we assess revenue sustainability, expense management, and overall financial health. Our analyses provide robust insights to support your internal evaluation process.

Our financial due diligence equips you with detailed, accurate, and granular insights—empowering effective negotiations, optimal deal structuring, and strategic adjustments when needed.

Deal Modeling and Valuation

Our CFAs and PE experts construct detailed, bottom-up financial models for each potential investment. We incorporate relevant market benchmarks and run robust sensitivity and scenario analyses to illuminate every deal’s risk-reward profile. These dynamic models provide the clarity you need to make confident, data-driven investment decisions.

Depending on the company’s industry and stage, we apply the most appropriate valuation methods (e.g. DCF, public comparables, precedent transactions) to arrive at a sound equity estimate. Our best-in-class modeling and valuation services enable you to compare multiple investment options, project short- and long-term returns, and determine how each opportunity aligns with your goals.

Term Sheet Structuring

Have you seen a promising investment falter due to poorly structured deal terms? How do you navigate situations when unexpected term changes arise during negotiations?

Whether you’re refining an existing term sheet or preparing a new one, our experienced investment professionals and venture experts support you with strategic insights and analysis to strengthen your negotiating position. We help you clearly structure terms, align proposals with industry best practices, and protect your interests—making your deal process smoother and more efficient.

DD on Blockchain and Alternative Assets

Alternative investments offer attractive opportunities but require specialized expertise for accurate evaluation. Our experienced team provides detailed financial due diligence tailored specifically to these assets.

Investment Ark’s CFA-qualified analysts and ex-investment bankers deliver rigorous valuations, bottom-up financial models, and thorough risk assessments across real estate, commodities, blockchain, and emerging sectors—ensuring clarity for your alternative investment evaluations.

Investment Ark team have been absolute rockstars to work with. Our previous consultant messed up, and Investment Ark consultants were quick to pick up the task and instantly understood what was needed. They take the job very seriously and ensure proper research is done on any number they are going through. They wouldn't stop working until 100% satisfaction from our side. We'll definitely work with them again!
