Tech Due Diligence
From tech insights to actionable guidance - secure your investment with clarity and confidence.
Each Tech Due Diligence we deliver is led by a founder-led fractional CTO, with the option to bring in specialists for specific technologies or industries. In just two weeks, we technically de-risk your next funding round with a pragmatic, founder-friendly audit.
Our approach goes above and beyond: an audit that evaluates vision, strategy, team, product, and technology, with clear, concrete recommendations for both the investor and the startup/scale‑up.
Our assessment provides an overview of key areas: tech product and stack, stability, scalability, observability, as well as team, methodologies, vision, and strategic approach. When no red flags are identified, we keep the process lean and avoid unnecessary deep dives; if a risk emerges, we expand our analysis accordingly.
Our process, designed to deliver insights quickly, is based on interviews and working sessions with key team members (often reviewing live code and architecture together) with access to relevant product tools such as Notion, Linear, or Sentry. We also require direct access to the source code under NDA, ensuring a thorough and accurate assessment.
Our goal is always to create value for both investors and the company by providing a clear view of the current state and actionable next steps.
