Last Mile Ventures · Est. 2018
Independent Advisor for Special Situations.
Governance · Risk · Capital
We advise founders, boards and family offices across India and South Asia when governance, capital allocation and risk can no longer be handled separately.
Independent Counsel.
We advise founders, families and boards on decisions with lasting structural and financial impact.
Succession & Leadership Handover
Aligning family interests and board seats when succession is unresolved.
Ownership & Shareholder Realignment
Resolving deadlocks and structuring clean exits between shareholders.
Capital Allocation Under Uncertainty
Stress-testing major bets beyond what a spreadsheet can show.
Concentrated Downside Risk
Finding the vulnerability before a lender or regulator does.
Ambiguous decision rights stay hidden until a dispute, business challenges or leadership changes force the question.
Proximity breeds optimism. We bring the distance required to stress-test your vulnerabilities and unearth the risks teams overlook.
Spreadsheet models can justify almost any transaction. We scrutinise the strategic logic and evidence behind major capital commitments.
Fundamental Research and Direct Engagement,
Led by Proprietary Intelligence Tools.
High-stakes issues rarely hinge on a single missing fact. They hinge on reconciling fragmented legal agreements, board minutes, operating history and unwritten family dynamics.
LMV doesn't rely on predigested executive briefs. We examine the source material directly, map the connections other advisors miss, and give principals the unvarnished facts they need to decide with confidence.
This is the discipline behind every Governance, Risk and Capital engagement. LMV calls it the Research Intelligence Framework.
Anonymised. Generalised.
Founder Succession
"Advised a $100M+ family conglomerate through a sensitive leadership handover, restructuring the board and establishing clear voting rights between active and passive heirs."
A $100M+ conglomerate realigned as succession was resolved.
Cross-Border Real Assets
"Governed the setup of a US$20M multi-jurisdiction investment platform, insulating the principal from structural and regulatory downside."
A US$20M platform structured across India and South Asia.
Investment Committee Discipline
"Designed decision rules and accountability protocols for a single-family office managing 40+ direct investments."
40+ direct investments governed for a single-family office.
LMV's role in each of the above was limited to governance and process design. Investment decisions were made independently by the client and their advisors.
Why This
Discipline Exists.
LMV exists to bring disciplined, independent thinking to decisions that need to survive scrutiny long after they are made.
Thinking Out Loud.
From Family Business to Family Enterprise
"Massive financial success acts as a mask for structural fragility. The concentration of wealth in a single legacy asset is the hidden risk."
