Institutional Framework for Deeptech Fund Manager Diligence


Purpose Algokapital Partners delivers a disciplined, institutional-grade evaluation of specialist deeptech fund managers operating in artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and advanced computing architectures where they intersect these fields. The service provides a structured framework for assessing managerial capability, investment discipline, operational integrity, and strategic alignment with Gulf institutional mandates.

Mandate Scope The firm is engaged by institutional and sovereign partners to support allocation decisions involving specialist deeptech fund managers across the Commonwealth of Independent States and associated markets. Each mandate is calibrated to the investor’s specific risk tolerance, return objectives, sector priorities, and geopolitical considerations. The advisory focuses exclusively on managers with demonstrated execution capabilities, verifiable access to premier technical talent, and proprietary sourcing networks within complex technology ecosystems.

Manager Assessment Framework Algokapital applies a proprietary, research-driven methodology designed to provide clarity across the strategic, technical, operational, and geopolitical dimensions of a manager’s platform.

The framework includes:

  • Strategy and Market Thesis Evaluation of the manager’s thematic focus, capital deployment philosophy, venture pacing, and capacity to generate alpha within artificial intelligence and semiconductor markets.

  • Technical and IP Diligence Assessment of the manager’s ability to evaluate scientific depth, intellectual property defensibility, and engineering execution risk in AI, semiconductors, and aligned computing architectures.

  • Governance and Operational Integrity Forensic analysis of the firm’s governance structure, investment committee function, decision-making processes, and operational controls. This includes evaluation of key-person risk, succession planning, and the alignment between stated strategy and actual implementation.

  • Portfolio Construction and Value Realization Review of pipeline quality, diligence standards, diversification logic, and follow-on strategy. This includes analysis of prior outcomes, performance attribution, realized exits, and the manager’s track record in guiding advanced technology ventures toward liquidity.

  • Geopolitical and Regulatory Risk Assessment Analysis of cross-border exposure, sanctions and export-control factors, and jurisdictional risks that affect the manager’s ability to execute its strategy.

Due Diligence Process The diligence process is a structured, multi-module framework designed to deliver objective, actionable intelligence.

It includes:

  • Forensic review of governing documents, audited financials, and regulatory filings.

  • Direct interviews with managing partners, technical leadership, and operational staff.

  • Quantitative analysis of historical performance, attribution metrics, and loss-ratio data.

  • Independent verification of claims related to sourcing channels, ecosystem access, and proprietary competencies.

  • Comprehensive review of compliance systems, conflict-of-interest controls, and operational oversight infrastructure.

Reporting and Deliverables

Each engagement culminates in a detailed diligence report that provides:

  • A factor-based assessment of the manager’s platform, outlining alpha-generation potential and associated risks.

  • Analysis of alignment with the investor’s sector focus, mandate requirements, and risk parameters.

  • Scenario-based evaluation of expected outcomes under varying market conditions.

  • Recommendations regarding allocation sizing, structuring, and ongoing monitoring.
