Independent investment risk analysis

Capital Risk & Investment Judgment.
Pre-commitment deal screening.
1998–present.
Results from recent deal analyses:

AI Healthcare → prevented $3M in cash-flow leakage over 18 months.

AI Tech → reduced burn by $1.5–2M annually; avoided 40–60% downside.

FinTech → protected ~$1M from fines and churn; prevented a 50%+ revenue decline.

Pre-commitment. Second look before you sign.

2006: Uralkali IPO LSE cancelled (undervaluation).
2007: exited higher, one of the strongest Russian IPOs of the cycle.

Stood in the rooms where cheques are signed.
See the same: structure, incentives, dependencies, tail risks — before handshake.

Quick second opinion on decks / term sheets / risk narratives.
24–48 hours. No mandate. No obligations.

I work at the deal selection stage, before capital commitment, analysing investment logic, structural risks and hidden assumptions that remain invisible in formally clean data rooms. My work results in independent risk theses and investment opinions used by capital owners to decide whether, when and at what scale to commit.

Independent judgment. Pre-commitment focus. No execution bias.
Since 2003 I’ve been in the rooms where real capital allocation decisions are made.
2006: Uralkali was heading to LSE IPO. Order book closed, but valuation was wrong too low. We pulled it.
2007: right window opened. Came back, priced better, one of the strongest Russian IPOs of the period.
I recognise those same patterns now: polished pitch decks, aggressive multiples, but hidden tail risks in structure, dependencies, or incentives.
I give a second look exactly before commitment while it’s still possible to walk away without losing face or capital.
Downside preservation. Time compression.
No mandate. No pitch-book.

Capital preservation is always my top priority.

My Ideal Client


You are a sophisticated investor who understands that the most expensive mistake is not losing money — it’s deploying capital without full visibility into the downside.

•  High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNWI) with $5M–$50M+ in investable assets, actively allocating to private markets (direct deals, secondaries, pre-IPO, growth equity) and wanting an independent second opinion before committing.

•  Family Offices (single or multi, $50M–$500M+ AUM) that outsource targeted research and risk framing — especially those avoiding full-time hires but needing rigorous pre-decision screening.
•  Private Investors / Direct Allocators making occasional but high-stakes private investments (venture, PE co-invests, secondary liquidity events) and seeking unbiased risk thesis without internal bias or conflict.

•  Small / Mid-Size VC or Growth Funds (fund size $50M–$500M) looking for external deal screening or red-flag validation on origination targets.

•  Wealth Managers / Advisors serving HNWI / FO clients who need external due diligence light or risk memo support for complex private allocations.

You value:

•  Clarity over optimism
•  Capital preservation first
•  Independent, conflict-free opinion
•  Actionable memo / risk thesis format (not long reports)
•  Speed and precision at the decision stage

You are not looking for portfolio management, fundraising help, pitch deck writing, or ongoing execution support. You want someone who says “caution — here’s why” or “proceed conditionally — with these mitigations” before the check is written.

If this describes you or your organization, you’re exactly the type of client I build my practice around. Let’s talk DM or [link to contact].
  • Frozen capital kills more wealth than actual losses
    Pain of parting with money is the biggest barrier for most investors – not just beginners.

    Losing even the last 100k or borrowed funds hurts. But here’s the paradox: research shows loss aversion makes a -100k feel 2–2.5 times more painful than +100k feels good (Kahneman & Tversky). That’s why investors hold losing positions for years, refuse to cut losses, and eventually lose everything.
    The real capital risk isn’t what you already invested – it’s failing to let go. Money stuck in a “favorite” project or asset isn’t working. The opportunity cost is often many times larger than the loss itself.

    Data confirms it:

    • 70–80% of portfolio mistakes stem from emotional attachment to capital (Preqin Investor Outlook 2025)
    • 61% of HNWI name “lack of risk transparency” as the top reason for losses (Preqin 2025)
    • Investors afraid to part with capital show 2–3× lower IRR (McKinsey Global Private Markets Report 2025)
    • 68% of PE deals lose value due to governance and hidden assumptions (Harvard Business Review 2024 “The Hidden Risks in Private Equity Deals”)

    From my 2024–2026 practice: fear of loss makes investors miss 60–80% of the best entry points and hold cash too long — missing compounding.

    Real anonymized cases:

    • AI Healthcare RCM → prevented $2–4M cash-flow leakage over 18 months
    • AI Tech platform → reduced annual burn by $1.5–2M, avoided 40–60% downside
    • FinTech Health → saved ~$1M in fines & churn, prevented 50%+ revenue drop

    I’m not on anyone’s payroll.

    I get paid precisely for saying “no” when everyone else says “yes” — and for showing exactly where capital can disappear.
