Cohres helps private equity firms, venture capital investors, family offices and institutional investors assess opportunities, test commercial assumptions and make well-supported investment decisions.
Our independent research helps investment teams identify material risks, reduce research bottlenecks and focus deeper diligence where it matters most.

We help investors assess investment opportunities through focused screening and commercial evaluation, identifying material commercial risks, testing investment assumptions and determining whether further due diligence is justified.

Commercial Due Diligence
Test the Commercial Case Before Capital Is Committed.

Our research identifies which assumptions are supported by evidence, which remain uncertain and what could materially affect the investment thesis.
