Investment thesis
Growth-phase business — story-led; valuation sensitive to momentum.

Why risky: Price often leads fundamentals; dependency on founder often high.

Owner dependency
45/100
Moderate — manageable with handoverSome founder dependency, but not acute. A structured handover period should cover most risk.
FACTORS

- +Young company: Only 2.6 years old — management layer unlikely to be developed.
