The Due Diligence Experts: Why Pitch Decks Don't Cut It Anymore

<p>Most people find out what&#39;s wrong with a deal after they&#39;ve signed it. Johnny Quattro and Steve Walshe get paid to find it first. </p><p>Johnny Quattro spent thirty years building, failing and rebuilding businesses before he set up Goodrich Partners, a due diligence firm built to do the digging most investors never get around to. Steve Walshe built the analysis engine behind it, the technology that scores a business across financials, founder history, exposure and sector analyses before anyone puts money on the table. </p><p>Sam first came across Johnny years ago. That conversation has now turned into a formal partnership. Goodrich is the analytical and intelligence layer underneath every deal that comes through The Rural Bridge, pulling apart what a pitch deck won&#39;t show you before Sam brings an opportunity to the community.</p><p><br></p><p>0:00 Intro</p><p>10:09 Separating the Intelligence From the Investment Decision</p><p>16:13 Why the Pitch Deck Era Is Over</p><p>21:40 What Kinds of Businesses Goodrich Actually Analyses</p><p>25:24 How a Business Actually Gets Assessed, Step by Step</p><p>30:26 How AI Is Changing the Way Deals Get Assessed</p><p>39:01 What Happens to a Business When the Founder Leaves</p><p>49:17 The SpaceX Call and Staying Impartial on Elon Musk</p><p>1:02:17 Cyclical Businesses vs Businesses Built to Last</p><p>1:16:39 Where to Actually Find Good Information, Not Noise</p><p>1:26:18 Advice for Anyone Buying or Selling a Business</p><p><br></p><p>Want a business venture or investment opportunity properly analysed? </p><p>Reach out to the Goodrich Partners team.</p><p>📧 Email: info@goodrich.partners</p><p>🌐 Website: https://www.goodrich.partners</p><p><br></p><p>Follow Goodrich Partners:</p><p>Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodrich_partners</p><p>/Follow on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/goodrichpartner</p><p><br></p><p>💼 Sponsor: The Rural Bridge</p><p>If you&#39;re a wholesale investor and want to know more about what&#39;s inside </p><p>The Rural Bridge Investor Community:</p><p>👉 https://www.theruralbridge.com/investment-community</p><p>Follow The Rural Bridge:</p><p>Website: https://www.theruralbridge.com/</p><p>Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rural__bridge/</p><p>Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ruralbridgepodcast/</p><p>Follow on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/98460865/</p><p>Watch on YouTube:</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/@rural__bridge</p>
