01Scoped at intake
The need is defined by Taidou with the founder, against the record, before it is routed. You are not the one working out what they want.
Taidou Atlas · Service providers
Work routed to your practice, not a directory listing.
Providers join the Atlas network by assessment. In return, the work that reaches you has been scoped by someone who understands both sides of it.
Scoped before it reaches you. The company has been through intake, so you are not spending unbilled hours finding out what it needs.
Routed by practice. Work goes to the member whose practice fits the need and the stage — not to whoever is listed first.
Assessed, not signed up. Membership is on work we have seen. There is no fee to join and no fee per referral, in either direction.
Back into the record. What you deliver becomes part of the company’s record, which is what the next investor reads.
What you receive
A brief, not a lead.
By the time a need is routed to you the company has been through intake. You get the stage, the specific work, the budget band the founder has agreed to, the timeline, and read access to the parts of the record you need — before the first conversation, so the first conversation is about the work.
02Routed by practice
Legal, accounting, data and model, go-to-market. Work goes to the member whose practice and stage-experience fit — not to whoever is listed first.
03Read access to the record
The parts you need: entity chain, cap table, the relevant contracts or numbers. Nothing you do not.
04Your work, on the record
What you deliver becomes part of the company’s record. The next investor reads it there, with your name on it.
Membership
Assessed, not signed up.
We look at work you have done, ideally for a company we both know, and we talk to the founder. It is slower than a form and it is the whole point: a founder who is routed to you is being told, by us, that the work will be done properly. There is no fee to join, no fee per referral in either direction, and no exclusivity — the same category may be routed to several members depending on stage and fit.
Step 1
Tell us about the practice
Which categories, which stages, which jurisdictions. What you will not take.
Step 2
Show us the work
Two or three engagements, one of them with a company we can talk to.
Step 3
A conversation
With the Taidou people who scope and route. Usually an hour.
Step 4
Listed, and routed
Your practice appears in the network. The first need that fits comes to you scoped.
Common questions
Before you get in touch.
By assessment. We look at work you have done, ideally with a company we both know. It is slower than a form and it is the whole point.
No. Not from you, not from the company. A referral that pays us is a referral a founder should discount.
No. We may route the same category to several providers depending on stage and fit.
