Financing a company or idea is the beginning of a long term partnership, not just an investment. We believe it is important for entrepreneurs and Storm to go through a rigorous due diligence process together. We view this as a two-way process, allowing Storm to understand the potential opportunity as best as possible, and for the entrepreneur team to asses Storm’s fit and capability to be a long term partner.

What You Should Expect

If the plan meets our investment profile and criteria, you should expect us to schedule an introductory meeting with Storm shortly after plan submission and review.

Following this meeting, we will assign a team of at least two people to sponsor the company. This team will prepare an investment brief which will be reviewed at the next scheduled partner meeting. If the review is favorable, we will kickoff a more in depth due diligence process.

During this due diligence process, we will want to spend more time with the company, speak with potential team references, and customer references if appropriate. We may also introduce the company to potential customers and subject matter experts to help validate either the company’s technology or value proposition.

At some point during this process, a meeting with the entire investment team will be scheduled. This is a necessary but not sufficient step in the investment approval process. We are committed to providing you with quality feedback throughout the due diligence process, regardless of the outcome of our decision.
