Case Study

Technical Diligence & Scale-Up Strategy for a Lithium Investment

The Problem

A growth equity firm was considering a significant investment in a lithium refining startup.
The company’s technology claims were strong, but there was no independent assessment of scalability, CAPEX/OPEX credibility, or permitting path.
The investment team needed more than a data room—they needed a partner who could translate technical design into financial implications.

Our Solutions

We conducted a focused technical review of the company’s process flows, mass balances, and cost assumptions. We benchmarked design choices against commercial precedent and flagged risks. We also modeled how changes in lithium recovery efficiency would affect IRR and payback at scale. Result: The investor gained clarity on risk-adjusted upside, restructured the deal with appropriate downside protection, and proceeded with confidence.
