For a Startup Founder Who Trusted Their Gut

Partner Background Check

The founder had a potential partner with a polished background. Strong pitch. Impressive resume. But small things felt off, vague references, timeline gaps, and answers that danced around the details. They needed to be sure before committing.

They came to Tech Mentor Pro to quietly verify everything without alerting anyone.

We used open-source intelligence to map their digital footprint, business ties, and legal history.
We checked past startups, domain registrations, corporate filings, and court records.

What we found confirmed the founder’s gut feeling.

What Didn’t Add Up

The Partner Looked Great, Until We Looked Closer

The partner seemed perfect — strong background, smart pitch, and a great story. But the founder couldn’t shake a feeling: the timeline felt off, references were vague, and details kept changing depending on who asked.

It wasn’t about paranoia. It was about protecting the company before signing anything permanent. That’s when they asked us to quietly verify everything.

How We Investigated

A Quiet Background Check, Built on Facts

This wasn’t guesswork or digging through social media. The client needed real, verifiable facts and they needed them fast. We handled the entire process quietly, using legal, public sources to trace their partner’s professional and legal footprint.

  • Verified work and education history
  • Traced company and domain ownership
  • Flagged three failed business ventures
  • Found two undisclosed legal disputes

All investigation methods were GDPR-compliant and based on publicly available data.

The Profile Looked Clean. The Paper Trail Said Otherwise.

What we found wasn’t illegal, but it wasn’t honest either. And that’s all the founder needed to walk away.

Misused Investor Funds

Startup raised capital, shut down quietly, with no product or explanation.

Ongoing Litigation

Civil case still active in another country. The client had no idea.

Fabricated Job History

Two roles claimed at once. One didn’t exist. The other was exaggerated.
  • One report. Quietly delivered. One decision, confidently made.
