Why FIFTK Memo?

Service providers supporting entrepreneurs (founders) cultivate the same sell-side optimistic - and sometimes idealistic - bias.

This bias is detrimental to entrepreneurs themselves because it creates a gap with long-term financial partners who search for the truth and want to know the actual challenges.

That it is why it is in the interest of all stakeholders to access an independent and realistic analysis, with as few idealistic bias as possible.

FIFTK Memo provides this kind of analysis.

Modular. Insightful. Swift.
