For Investors & Expert Networks
Conflict-free technical judgment for theses and deals.
Diligence-grade input on automotive software from a senior operator who shipped it — with no vendor bias baked in, because there's no build to sell on the other side of the call.
What I help with
Where a domain operator changes the answer.
- Technical diligence on automotive software platforms, IVI/SDV stacks, and connected-vehicle backends.
- Market and trend reads — where the connected-vehicle and SDV market is actually heading, and why.
- Platform and ecosystem assessment — partners, build-vs-buy posture, and the moat (or lack of one).
- Thesis pressure-testing — the questions a domain operator would ask before writing the check.
Why neutrality matters in diligence
Advice from a firm that profits when you build is structurally tilted.
In diligence, the conflict is the risk. An engineering house wants the build; a platform vendor wants the license. Aull Ventures sells neither — so "this thesis has a hole in it" or "this team is missing the hard part" comes without an angle. You get the read a senior operator would give a colleague, not the one a vendor would give a prospect.
