Many factors determine the success or failure of growth companies. Venture capital and private equity firms have a wealth of information available to evaluate investment opportunities, including financial projections, market analyses and product demonstrations. While this provides a useful view into the risk and worthiness of an investment, it only provides a part of the overall picture.

Risk has many different facets whether fiscal, leadership, or market related. While financial risk has been well understood, the risk associated with the capabilities of management is less clear. The metrics and tools have not been readily available, and decisions around evaluating and augmenting management teams have often been left to intuition and “gut feel”.

WingSpread brings clarity to the question of human capital risk. Our solutions provide a clear, measurable and quantitative method for evaluating the talents of management teams. We help venture capital and private equity firms in two key areas of human capital management:

• Due diligence of potential investments, measuring the human capital risks of management teams
• Augmenting management teams through strategic recruitment and restructuring
