The Firm
Clarity for decisive capital.
Parlor Ventures supports investment decisions through opportunity sourcing, valuation, due diligence and investment strategy development, all delivered with macro-strategic depth and committee-ready rigour.
When conviction is required, the work must stand up to scrutiny. The outcome of Parlor Ventures’ engagements is always consistent:
Assumptions surfaced.
Evidence documented.
Scenarios tested.
Decisions sharpened.
Our Perspective
Capital moves fastest when the thinking is clean.
The lens at Parlor Ventures stays wide enough to capture macro forces – rates, regulation, geopolitics, liquidity – then tight enough to interrogate the unit economics, operating cadence and the deal mechanics. The result is writing and analysis designed for action: sharp enough for founders, structured enough for investment committees.
How We Work
Every engagement with Parlor Ventures begins by identifying a clear investment question and crafting an appropriate thesis statement to test. From there, the work runs on a tight sequence designed to keep decisions moving.
01
Define the decision:
mandate, constraints, timeline, decision-makers, required outputs.
02
Build the thesis:
what must be true for the investment to win.
03
Pressure-test the ideas:
scenarios, sensitivities, market mapping, competitor reality checks.
04
Validate the asset:
valuation logic, diligence workstreams, risk register with mitigations.
05
Deliver decision materials:
structured outputs built to travel inside an IC pack.

Realistic and thorough analysis. Base case, upside, downside – each tied to real drivers.
Diligence that reads like a decision.
Clearing the path for your own decisions. We prioritise the findings and make sure that the consequences are explicitly stated. With this strategy the next steps are made simple.
