How Venture Capital Due Diligence Is Adapting to a Faster, AI-Heavy Deal Market By: Aman Agrawal  August 24, 2026 Share:        Global venture funding climbed to $425 billion in 2025, roughly 30 percent higher than 2024 and the third-largest year on record, even as the number of completed deals fell by close to 15 percent. Capital is concentrating in fewer, larger, faster-moving rounds, and AI-focused companies alone captured well over half of that total. Ten funding rounds attracted more than $2 billion each in just the first quarter of 2026. For a due diligence team, that combination is uncomfortable: less time per deal, bigger checks at stake, and a wave of fast-scaling companies that don’t fit the diligence playbooks built for slower-moving markets.

Investment Management Services That Grow Smarter with You By: Prabhash Choudhary  August 20, 2026 Share:        Money left untouched rarely grows on its own. It needs direction, discipline, and a strategy that evolves as markets shift and life circumstances change. That is precisely where Investment Management Services come in.

Global assets under management crossed $147 trillion in 2025, a sign that more investors than ever are choosing professional guidance over a do-it-yourself approach. However, not all services are built the same way. Some providers still rely on static, one-size-fits-all models, while others are moving toward strategies that respond in real time to changing conditions.

Carve Out Model: Why It Matters in Transactions

Carve Out Model: Why It Matters in Transactions By: Aman Agrawal  August 6, 2026 Share:        A carve out model converts an integrated business unit into a credible standalone financial story. Carve out model separates revenue, costs, assets, liabilities, cash flows, employees, systems, and shared services from the parent company while showing how the divested entity could operate after closing. This work has become increasingly important as corporations use divestitures to sharpen strategic focus, redeploy capital, and simplify operating structures. Deloitte’s 2026 Global Divestiture Survey says divestitures are now becoming intentional, strategy-led separations rather than opportunistic disposals; it also notes that 2025 divestiture volumes declined while deal values rose, pointing to fewer but larger and more deliberate transactions.
