What clients say about our services
“I’ve worked the banking side of these deals, so I know how much the details matter. Afissio helped us think beyond the current raise and understand what the proposed terms could mean for the company in future rounds.”
Matt Pelo
CEO, Fore Genomics
“Afissio asks the questions you’d rather postpone. That’s uncomfortable in the moment and it’s exactly why you want them involved early.”
Erik Gillberg
Co-founder & CEO, Now City
“By the time we started our Series A, the documents and the data room were already done. The questions investors asked, we’d answered months earlier.”
Andrew Heuerman
Partner and CEO, The Patient Company
“We had two ventures and needed one company. Afissio Law handled the merger and built the structure we still run on. They’ve been with us ever since.”
Michal “Mehow” Pospieszalski
Co-Founder, CEO & CTO, MatterFi
Afissio is a transaction-readiness firm serving founder-led companies preparing for a financing, acquisition, strategic partnership, recapitalization, or institutional investment. Through Deal Engineering, Afissio combines AI-assisted analysis with experienced professional judgment to identify and resolve the issues most likely to create friction during due diligence.
The problem
Serious transactions expose unresolved issues
A strong company can still encounter avoidable friction when its records, governance, contracts, capitalization, financial documentation, or technical practices do not withstand disciplined review.
That friction can delay a process, distract leadership, and give counterparties leverage.
See the issues earlier
Afissio reviews the operative record, identifies likely diligence pressure points, and helps leadership address what matters before a live process becomes urgent. The goal is not to promise that every issue disappears. It is to create clarity, establish priorities, and provide a practical path to resolution.
Three ways to engage
Deal engineering before the due diligence begins.
Engagements are scoped to where a company actually is. Most begin with a Review; the work escalates only when the record, or the timeline, calls for it.
01
Review
Understand where the company stands and what is most likely to create diligence friction.
02
Sprint
Organize and execute the highest-priority remediation and structural decisions.
03
Support
Maintain transaction readiness as the company and its transaction timeline evolve.
The method
One method, and the judgment that applies it.
A disciplined approach
Deal Engineering is Afissio's method for reviewing, identifying, organizing, prioritizing, and helping resolve the issues that matter most before consequential diligence begins.
Direct, experienced involvement
AI-assisted analysis supports careful review and issue-spotting. Experienced professionals remain responsible for interpretation, prioritization, judgment, and client-facing conclusions.
