DaD Methodology

The methodology that DaD applies has 5 different levels:

Basic Project review: At this level we discard those projects that we understand are set up in a market with too many players and/or have an important market leader that is very well supported financially, and the possibility to remove the leader from its position is very difficult.

Project Study: Those projects that go beyond the first filter are analyzed, once a week, at internal level to study their business model, their market, the team and the financial needs.

Entrepreneur Interview: Only those projects that go further than the two previous filters will go through a personal interview. In this interview we try to evaluate and analyze the motivation and the implication level of the entrepreneur and his/her management team.

Investment Committee: This committee gets together once a project has passed the previous three levels. The entrepreneur has to give a presentation of the project to all the members of the committee.

Board of Directors: The investment committee decides which projects are going to be presented to the Board of Directors, which is the one that makes the final decision.
