Technical Due Diligence
Independent technical due diligence for VC, PE, and strategic acquirers — delivered in 5–10 business days.
What This Service Is
Before you wire money, sign the SPA, or approve the next tranche, you need to know what is really inside the product. We review the codebase, architecture, infrastructure, engineering process, security posture, and product scalability — then translate the findings into clear investment risk. You get a fixed-fee report, a 1-page executive summary for the investment committee, and evidence that can be verified by the company's own technical team. The question we answer: is this technology a reliable asset — or an unpriced liability?
When You Need This
Recognize these symptoms? They are often leading indicators of expensive failures.
VC Investment Round
Seed, Series A, or growth-stage investments where the product is live and technology execution risk matters for follow-on funding and enterprise sales.
PE or Search Fund Deal
Software acquisitions where maintainability, delivery capacity, infrastructure cost, and engineering process directly affect the investment case.
Strategic Acquisition
When the target's technology must integrate with your systems, satisfy internal security expectations, or support a larger customer base.
Angel Syndicate / Family Office
Deals where you have no internal CTO available to review the product before committing capital — you need a practical, investor-friendly view.
Next Tranche Approval
Before releasing milestone-based funding when the roadmap depends on technical claims that have never been independently verified.
Risks We Address
The cost of inaction usually exceeds the cost of remediation.
Hidden Technical Debt
critical Risk- Over-complex modules where every new feature becomes slower and riskier
- Weak test coverage around billing, payments, and critical flows
- Legacy decisions that require a rewrite the founders have not planned for
Scalability Ceiling
high Risk- Architecture that cannot support the projected customer growth
- Database design and query patterns that break under transaction volume
- Infrastructure cost rising faster than revenue
Security & Licensing Exposure
critical Risk- Security posture below enterprise customer expectations
- Copyleft license exposure in commercial product areas
- Critical libraries that are unmaintained or carry known vulnerabilities
Team & Bus Factor
high Risk- Deployment and incident knowledge concentrated in one person
- Unclear ownership of core modules
- Dependency on agencies or freelancers with no internal accountability

Tangible artifacts, operational clarity, and a path forward.

How It Works
Structured engagement model designed for velocity.
Scoping Call
We confirm the deal context, timeline, product type, access requirements, and the key investment questions the review must answer.
Access & Document Review
Repository access, architecture documents, infrastructure overview, and existing technical materials — we map what can be verified and what cannot.
Technical Assessment
We examine the codebase, architecture, dependencies, deployment setup, engineering workflow, and critical product flows against the business plan.
Findings, Report & Debrief
Consolidated risks with evidence, cost-to-fix estimates, the executive summary, and a call to walk the investment team through the findings.

Technical Due Diligence for Investors: The Complete Guide
Technical due diligence is not a code review. It is an answer to one question: what will it cost to get this technology where the investment thesis needs it to be?

You are about to buy a share of an asset you have not inspected. A code audit is the inspection — but only if it is scoped to answer investment questions rather than engineering ones.

Investors are not grading your code. They are pricing the risk that technology stops the plan they are funding — and founders who understand that prepare very differently.
