1. Emphasizing the Human Dimension

Via ID believes that a company’s performance largely depends on the talents and skills of its teams. Via ID thinks that, to best support a founding team, it must know it well. Therefore, Via ID integrates a human dimension at every stage of our decision-making process:

• Initial Team Assessment: During the investment file review, Via ID introduces a Human Resources (HR) component to deeply evaluate the founding teams and key profiles of the companies analyzed. This assessment includes thorough interviews and the use of skills and personality assessment tools.
• Group Dynamics Analysis: Via ID examines group dynamics and corporate culture to understand how teams work together. Special attention is given to the complementarity of skills, diversity of experiences, and the capacity for collaboration.

2. People at the center of concerns

Via ID believes that success comes from the people who make up the company. Via ID pays close attention to the founding team and key profiles to identify individual and collective strengths, as well as potential risk areas. This allows it to ensure it leverages everyone’s strengths, makes specific recommendations to optimize human performance, and prevents potential conflicts.

3. Anticipating Human Risks

Via ID strives to identify and anticipate human risks to ensure harmony among founders and foster a positive working environment within teams.
