Through our qualification process we assess thousands of businesses a month in the search for the new and the next!

We conduct a macro-economic market assessment which includes  retrospective performance of chosen verticals as well as projected growth (local and international), competitive landscape assessment (globally) – USP, pricing, branding, etc.

Additionally, our analysts quantitatively identify over 300 data points about your business that assist us in evaluating where you sit on our F6 continuum, ie. the 6 key components that are fundamental for eCommerce scale success. This includes an audit of your existing digital footprint across all platforms, including owned, earned and paid media.

Each of the 6 foundations have weightings based on the number of data points for that foundation, as well as for the importance they play in being able to significantly benefit from Digi_Vest as an eCommerce growth partner.  We have identified a ‘sweet spot’ for ideal businesses that we look for during our qualification (due diligence) and selection process.

Part of the process involves our modeling on how we can monetise your business.

Finally we conduct an in-depth analysis that is always completed prior to launching into the pilot validation phase. From the deep dive, a rollout strategy is developed across 3 phases Minimum Viable Performance (MVP) Phase recommendations – this is minimal tweaks for maximum results to the current business model that will drive short term performance efficiencies and revenue. Additionally, insights, strategies and a plan of action across 19 performance levers for short, medium and long term performance.

Throughout the qualification process, if businesses don’t meet the criteria they are removed from the pool. We select less than 5% of businesses we evaluate to become investment partners.

Pilot validation fundamentally tests online sales conversion and ROI ratio levels. Getting it right is testament to sound eCommerce foundations (what we call our F6) and identification of CEO’s custom growth formula. In reality, it is quite complex and underpinned by data science.

Pilot failure can occur for various reasons, ie. the inability to achieve a positive effect on your conversion rate in the immediate term, the inability to achieve an above reasonable value over a 1:1 ROI throughout the validation period etc. Digi_Vest accepts a pilot validation failure.

Investments are usually afforded an eCommerce performance expert Digi_Vest team of 8-10 over and above the business’ existing team. The Digi_Vest team are also remunerated on performance and welcome investor capital to fuel scale.

Unless investments successfully exit the pilot validation phase, there is no investor opportunity.

Scaling online is an incredibly complex process. In scale, we solidify the partnership and accelerate growth with a validated business model.
