Digital performance drives exit value, but most diligence barely touches it.
Essen gives private equity, venture, and advisory teams the insight they need to validate growth, protect valuations, and avoid post-close surprises.
THE PROBLEM
Most diligence frameworks were designed for static businesses—not digital ecosystems.
In these ecosystems, one misstep—like oversimplifying lifetime value—can significantly distort valuation. But the costliest misstep is also the most common: ignoring the ecosystem altogether.

OUR SOLUTION
We evaluate digital performance in the context of what investors actually value.
We link customer behavior to the financial inputs that drive valuation—revenue quality, margin structure, retention curve, and return potential.
