Diagram played a critical role during Baselane’s early stages, helping us build a strong foundation to scale. From derisking and validating our idea to assisting with vetting early hires, introducing us to early investors and advisors, and bringing in a highly experienced independent board member, as well as refining our marketing strategy, their contribution was fundamental. The initial phase is often the most challenging, and Diagram are experts at navigating this crucial stage.

When we launched Novisto, the Diagram team provided invaluable support with talent sourcing, financial modeling, and other essential administrative tasks, enabling us to focus intently on product development. In addition, the Diagram & Sagard ecosystems opened doors to numerous corporate partners—many of whom went on to become Novisto customers—and to investors who have supported our journey over the years.

At our earliest formation, Diagram was instrumental in helping us get going, talent identification, vision clarity and overall incubation of Synctera. They were great with advice, counsel and support as we went to market on our first raise. As we have gone through several rounds of funding since Diagram has remained steadfast in their support of us, and stepped up big with follow-on investments. I’m very grateful to François, Fred and the Diagram team for believing in me, us and our vision. It really has been a long term partnership that has been at the back-bone of Synctera.

Diagram has been an excellent partner for us, aside from taking the burden off of us in terms of essential services in finance, accounting, and HR support – they have been a critical part of our journey so far in helping us through capital raise, forging strong ecosystem connections, and most importantly aligning with the long-term vision and path to building a highly scaling and larger B2B Fintech business.

What drew me to the project was Diagram’s emphasis on what truly matters in an early venture: a pressing, unsolved problem in a large, expanding market, and a founding team positioned to address it. Diagram champions ambitious vision but grounds it in a pragmatic, evidence-based approach that prioritizes learning, measurable results, and tangible value creation. From the outset, they equipped us with market insights and early customer validation, enabling us to dive straight into product and business development. This support allowed us to start building meaningful value from day one.

From the very beginning, Diagram provided us with valuable support on essential aspects like accounting, HR, and recruiting. But more than that, they were an incredible sounding board, offering strategic advice that helped shape our business. Diagram played a crucial role in helping us gain traction within the ecosystem, including securing our largest B2B client, IG. When it came to fundraising, Diagram was by our side every step of the way, introducing us to many of our investors. Simply put, we would not be where we are today without Diagram.

Diagram is a true partner to entrepreneurs. From the very get-go, Diagram sets up founders for success: from supporting on a business idea that has been tested and validated, to providing support throughout growth by ways of relevant introductions and strategic thinking. One specific example for us at Dialogue was putting our team in touch with key partners that were instrumental for our growth. Diagram truly lives their promise to tap into their vast network to help companies grow. Another example has been the support we received from Diagram’s Partners on our strategic and expansion plans. Finally – Diagram has great people – Diagram’s team is comprised of individuals who are smart, hard-working, humble and true ambassadors for entrepreneurs.

Partnering with Diagram was valuable for Walnut beyond the capital investment. We’ve held strategy sessions, they’ve shared insights and learnings from their experiences with other early-stage Insurtech and Fintech companies, and have introduced us to other founders in the space, helping expand our network. Additionally, they supported us with PR efforts, which helped us reach the right audience and generate leads.

We look forward to continuing to collaborate with Diagram; their support and connections have made a solid impact on driving our growth.

Diagram has been an exceptional partner from day one. Beyond providing essential support with operational functions like accounting and talent, they empowered us with the capital, strategic advisory, and founder-friendly approach that allowed us to stay focused on growth. Their alignment with our vision and dedication to founder success made all the difference, especially when the time came to navigate our exit.

Diagram worked with me to help get Trice off the ground. The venture creation team is top notch and was able to help refine Trice’s thesis based on industry research and their large network of contacts. They are well connected with the venture community which helped create a great audience for our Seed round. We closed the Seed round financing while still pre-product and pre-revenue within 8 months of the Trice founding in August of 2022. Diagram is a turnkey solution for launching a company as they take care of all the auxiliary tasks so the founders can focus on building value.

Partnering with Diagram has been great. Although our venture was a bit different from others in their portfolio including hardware, chemistry and infrastructure, the Diagram team embraced the challenge, providing invaluable strategic guidance that helped us refine our go-to-market approach. Their vast network connected us with key industry players, driving customer traction and opening growth opportunities we wouldn’t have found alone. They were also instrumental in supporting our fundraising efforts, introducing us to investors who truly aligned with our vision. More than that, Diagram was pivotal during several of Obeo Biogas’s key decisions and milestones, from shaping innovative projects to helping us navigate complex partnerships.
