Diligence Meeting Prep

Workflow

Step 1: Meeting Context

Ask the user for:

  • Meeting type: Management presentation, expert call, customer reference, advisor check-in, site visit
  • Attendees: Who from the target company or third party
  • Topic focus: Full business overview, or specific workstream (financial, commercial, operational, tech)
  • What you already know: Prior meetings, CIM, data room findings
  • Key concerns: Specific issues to probe

Step 2: Generate Question List

Organize questions by priority and topic. Structure depends on meeting type:

Management Presentation

Business Overview (warm-up)

  • Walk us through the founding story and key milestones
  • How do you describe the business to someone unfamiliar with the space?
  • What are you most proud of? What would you do differently?

Revenue & Growth

  • Walk us through revenue by customer/segment/geography
  • What's driving growth? Price vs. volume vs. new customers
  • What does the sales cycle look like? How has win rate trended?
  • Where do you see the biggest growth opportunities in the next 3-5 years?

Competitive Positioning

  • Who do you lose deals to and why?
  • What's your moat? How defensible is it?
  • How do customers evaluate you vs. alternatives?

Operations & Team

  • Walk us through the org chart — who are the key people?
  • What roles are you hiring for? What's been hardest to fill?
  • What keeps you up at night operationally?

Financial Deep-Dive

  • Walk us through the margin bridge — what's changed and why?
  • Any one-time or non-recurring items we should understand?
  • How do you think about capex — maintenance vs. growth?
  • Working capital seasonality?

Forward Look

  • Walk us through the budget/plan for next year
  • What assumptions are you most/least confident in?
  • What would need to go right/wrong to significantly beat/miss plan?

Expert Network Call

  • How do you view [company]'s positioning in the market?
  • What are the secular trends driving this space?
  • Who are the strongest competitors and why?
  • What risks should an investor be aware of?
  • If you were buying this business, what would you diligence most carefully?

Customer Reference Call

  • How did you find [company] and why did you choose them?
  • What alternatives did you evaluate?
  • What do they do well? Where could they improve?
  • How likely are you to renew/expand? What would change that?
  • If they raised prices 10-20%, how would you react?

Step 3: Benchmarks & Context

For each key topic, provide relevant benchmarks:

  • Industry growth rates and margin profiles
  • Comparable company metrics (if comps analysis exists in session)
  • Data points from the CIM or data room that warrant follow-up
  • Discrepancies between different data sources to clarify

Step 4: Red Flags to Probe

Based on what's known, flag specific areas to dig into:

  • Inconsistencies in the CIM or financials
  • Customer concentration or churn signals
  • Management team gaps or recent departures
  • Unusual accounting treatments
  • Missing data room items

Step 5: Output

One-page meeting prep doc:

  1. Meeting logistics: Who, when, where, duration
  2. Objectives: Top 3 things you need to learn from this meeting
  3. Question list: Prioritized, grouped by topic (star the must-asks)
  4. Benchmarks: Key numbers to reference
  5. Red flags: Specific items to probe
  6. Follow-up items: What to request after the meeting

Important Notes

  • Lead with open-ended questions — let management talk, then follow up on specifics
  • Don't lead the witness — ask neutral questions, not "isn't it true that..."
  • Take notes on body language and confidence levels, not just answers
  • Always end with: "What haven't we asked about that we should?"
  • Keep the question list to 15-20 max — you won't get through more in a 60-90 min session
