Their term sheet was signed on a Friday afternoon. By Monday, the lead investor had sent one email: complete data room by Wednesday.
What followed was four days of three people doing nothing else. The documents were scattered across shared drives and old email threads, and one NDA turned up just two hours before the deadline. In the end they made it, and the deal closed.
But here's what that story actually cost: not the deal, they saved that. It was four days of senior time that disappeared into an admin scramble, late nights, and a margin for error that shrank to two hours on the most important week of the year.
That's what due diligence actually costs most companies, not the deal, but the week before it.
