Investors fund the audit and receive stock from the company for the money they invested to perform the audit.

The Fractional CISO Program is a vital fractional Service Offering to create and manage Shareholder interests for private equity companies. Fractional Chief Investment and Shareholder Officers (CISO) ensure the capital "pot" is correct for past commitments and all down rounds. In addition, they provide the lead for syndication with Angels who want to just write a check when someone has "de-risk" the investment and is managing their interests through exit. We will screen, train and qualify CISO’s to be deployed on a fee-based client contract. Each CISO will manage 4 to 5 clients. (more)
