Beyond the Pitch Deck
Protecting capital from narrative risk through deep-dive behavioral and operational forensics.
Narrative Stress-Testing: We identify "holes" in business propositions by cross-referencing founder claims with market data and operational logic.
The Truth Behind the Narrative
High-growth investment requires more than a belief in a market: it requires an absolute audit of the individuals leading the charge. Our Founders Vetting service is a specialized "Red Team" operation for VCs and Private Offices. We strip away the charisma of the pitch to reveal the structural integrity of the founder and their business model.
Cognitive & Behavioral Audits: Assessing a founder's resilience, coachability, and decision-making frameworks under high-pressure scenarios.
Investable vs. Non-Investable Logic: We provide a binary recommendation backed by a detailed risk-factor report, allowing you to deploy capital with forensic certainty.
The vetting framework:
The "Stress Test" Case Study
The Challenge: The Charismatic Mismatch A Tier-1 VC was ready to lead a $10M Series A based on a founder's impressive pedigree and a "too-good-to-be-true" growth chart.
The Action:
Forensic Accounting Review: Discovered that 30% of "recurring" revenue was actually one-time consulting fees.
Founder Pressure-Test: Conducted a "red-team" interview session that revealed the founder’s inability to explain technical debt in their proprietary stack.
The Result:
Risk Avoided: The firm withdrew the term sheet, saving $10M in misallocated capital.

Risk Disclosure & Forensic Limitations Investing in financial instruments involves substantial risk, including the possible loss of principal. Quantitative strategies, backtested results, and algorithmic models are based on historical simulations and are not guarantees of future performance. Market conditions can change rapidly, and technical factors such as API connectivity, software latency, or execution errors may impact realized results. Furthermore, Founders Vetting and due diligence reports are forensic assessments based on point-in-time data and behavioral analysis; they are designed to identify narrative and operational risks but do not eliminate the possibility of underlying fraud, business failure, or future leadership volatility. MVK Alpha Capital does not provide guaranteed returns or capital preservation. All investment and deployment decisions—whether based on algorithmic signals or vetting audits—are made at the client's sole discretion and risk.
