Pre-investment (VC / PE)
You're about to invest and need an independent verdict on technical risk — fast, on deal timelines, and tied to the thesis you're underwriting.
SERVICE
Technical Due Diligence
Independent senior diligence on architecture, team, scalability and security — in plain language, on deal timelines.
Let's talk about your systemWe'll reply within a few days with a concrete proposal.
What we deliver
What this looks like in practice.
Decks and demos hide debt, fragility and key-person risk. We give investors, acquirers and founders an independent senior read on the technology and the team behind it — a clear red/amber/green verdict tied to the investment case, with the cost of fixing what we find.
Risk verdict & scorecard
A red/amber/green assessment across architecture, code health, scalability, security and team — tied to your thesis.
Architecture & scalability review
Will the system support the growth in the plan? Where it breaks, and what it costs to fix.
Code & delivery health
Code quality, test coverage, delivery velocity and the real cost of change.
Security & compliance posture
Exposure, data handling, and compliance gaps that could threaten the deal.
Team & key-person risk
Who actually holds the knowledge, where the bus-factor risk is, and how dependent the product is on individuals.
Remediation roadmap & cost
What needs fixing post-deal, sequenced, with effort and cost estimates.
When you need this
This is where we come in.
#02
Pre-acquisition
You're acquiring a product or company and need to know what you're really buying: hidden debt, scalability ceilings, security exposure, and how much remediation will cost.
#03
Pre-raise self-diligence
You're a founder preparing to raise and want to find — and frame — the technical risks before investors' diligence does.
A concrete example
What an engagement looks like in practice.
Anonymised, illustrative project example.
Starting point
A growth investor was evaluating a B2B SaaS target and needed a technical verdict in two weeks, before the term sheet.
Days 1–2
Scope to the thesis
Align on the investment case and the questions that actually matter: scale targets, key risks, deal timeline.
Days 3–8
Review
Codebase, architecture and infrastructure review, plus interviews with the target's engineering leadership.
Days 9–11
Risk readout
Red/amber/green verdict, key findings by severity, and a remediation roadmap with cost and effort.
Post-deal
Optional follow-through
If the deal closes, we can lead the remediation or stand in as fractional technical leadership.
Outcome
The investor went into the negotiation knowing the real technical risk — and the price of fixing it.

FAQ
Common questions
How fast can you turn it around?
Typically 1–2 weeks, scoped to your deal timeline. We tell you up front what depth is achievable in the time available.
What access and materials do you need?
Read-only code access under NDA, infrastructure and config visibility, and short interviews with the target's engineering leads. We work from a data room where one exists.
Do you cover the team and process, not just the code?
Yes. Key-person risk, delivery capability and engineering culture are often the biggest risks — we assess them alongside the architecture.
Can you help after the deal?
Yes — we can lead remediation, or provide fractional CTO / advisory support to de-risk the first months post-close.
