Clear. C-level ready. Deal-ready

Investing without clarity? Not an option.

Architecture, scalability, team structure, technical debt – we uncover what’s really under the hood.

We conduct technical due diligence that goes far beyond code reviews: structured assessments, prioritized risks, and investor-ready decision frameworks.

For VCs, PE teams, and founders who want to know what they’re really getting into – before it costs millions.

What we assess – and why it matters

We analyze the technical foundation of the target – with the perspective of a CTO and the clarity of an investor:

  • Software architecture & code quality – stability, modularity, technical debt
  • Team structure & knowledge risks – single points of failure, overengineering, developer dependencies
  • Delivery capability & processes – speed, maturity level, toolchain
  • Scalability & Roadmap – what’s ambition, what’s realistic?
  • Security, infrastructure & compliance – exposed risks & blind spots

Tech Due Diligence - More than an audit. A decision-making tool.

Our tech due diligence doesn’t deliver a data graveyard – but a decision matrix:

Tech Readiness Score & Risk Report

SWOT + Deal-criticality (red/yellow/green)

Recommendations for post-deal value levers & quick wins

C-level-ready presentation – clear, visual, to the point

More than tech

Why technical clarity defines deal success

Missing tests, outdated architectures, or a roadmap with no substance can kill even the most promising deal.
And if no one mentions that the dev team consists of just two freelancers – who takes responsibility?

We create transparency. And deliver results you can base real decisions on.
No tech drama. No translation gaps. No bullshit.

FAQ

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

What is tech due diligence?

Tech due diligence is the process of evaluating a company's technical aspects to ensure there are no hidden risks and that the technology is scalable, secure, and efficient. It’s essential for both investors and founders to make well-informed decisions.

Technical due diligence helps investors minimize the risk of poor investments by providing a clear picture of a company’s technical foundation. It uncovers weaknesses, risks, and opportunities that may be critical to the deal.

Tech due diligence examines architecture, code quality, scalability, team structure, delivery capability, and more. We assess the strategic alignment and the company’s ability to support future growth.

The duration depends on the size and complexity of the company. Typically, it takes a few days to a few weeks to gather and analyze all relevant technical information.

Tech due diligence focuses on the technological aspects of a company, whereas general due diligence covers a broader scope – including financials, legal matters, business processes, and market positioning.
