🚀 Eastside Entrepreneurs Due Diligence (EEDD) - Discovery Session

Thursday, May 28th at 4:00 PM

In Person at Torenthal Enterprises + Zoom Available

Over the past year, many entrepreneurs and angel investors inside the Eastside Entrepreneurs community have asked me the same two questions.

From the investor side:

“Is there a diligence team?”

Until now, the answer has largely been no.

Most angel investors are far more comfortable evaluating opportunities collaboratively - reviewing materials together, discussing risk openly, and ultimately producing a formal due diligence document that helps everyone make better-informed investment decisions.

At the same time, entrepreneurs consistently ask:

“How do we get more investors to the table?”

So we’re going to try something new.

Tomorrow, Thursday, May 28th at 4:00 PM, we’re holding a one-hour discovery session to determine whether we formally launch:

Eastside Entrepreneurs Due Diligence (EEDD)

The concept is simple.

We create a volunteer-driven diligence organization made up of experienced operators, founders, executives, and angel investors who want to collaboratively evaluate startups and emerging opportunities.

The outcome would be a structured due diligence document created by the team.

How It Would Work

For Angel Investors & Volunteers

• Join a diligence team
• Collaborate with other experienced investors and operators
• Review opportunities as a group
• Participate in meetings, analysis, and discussions
• Help shape a final diligence document

For Entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurs seeking a formal diligence process would:

• Identify a lead diligence coordinator
• Participate in the review process
• Provide materials, presentations, and financials
• Contribute $1,000 to help offset meeting costs, snacks, coordination, and operational overhead

Meeting Environment

The Torenthal Enterprises offices in Woodinville would be available for:

• diligence meetings
• brainstorming sessions
• investor discussions
• founder Q&A sessions
• informal working groups

Teams could also independently organize:

• coffee meetings
• winery meetings
• dinner sessions
• remote collaboration sessions

The entrepreneur may or may not be present depending on the phase of diligence and team preference.

Why This Matters

Great founders need access to experienced investors.

Great investors want stronger signal, better collaboration, and thoughtful evaluation before writing checks.

Seattle and the Eastside have extraordinary talent.

But we need stronger connective tissue between founders, operators, and capital.

This may be one step toward building that.
