The Dipalo Ventures Residency is our technical diligence program that identifies product design and engineering gaps. We conduct the technical diligence prior to the initial investment.

In the future, the Residency will incorporate two additional phases:

  • The Residency Audit (Phase 1) is a valuable gap analysis from which Founders choose topics to solve during Phase 2.
  • With Phase 2, the program provides technical evaluations, workshops, mentorship, and specific design and engineering support. It also includes access to contract manufacturing options, cost analysis, assistance refining the startup’s go-to-market strategy, financial planning, and fundraising strategies.

The program is executed with our strategic partners, MP ConsultingInfolytx, and Centrepolis.

Examples of Residency outputs:

  • Experience Based Roadmap
