Make Smarter Technology Investment Decisions
Technology drives value in modern companies, but evaluating technical assets requires deep expertise. We provide venture capital and private equity firms with comprehensive technical due diligence and ongoing portfolio company support.
The Challenge
Technology Risk Can Make or Break Your Returns
In today's market, technology is often the primary value driver—or the hidden liability—in acquisition targets. You need to understand the technical landscape before committing capital, but assessing code quality, architectural decisions, and technical team capabilities requires specialized expertise.
Critical questions you need answered:
- Is the technology architecture scalable and maintainable?
- What's the true state of technical debt and how much will it cost to address?
- Does the technical team have the capabilities needed for growth?
- Are there security vulnerabilities or compliance gaps that pose risks?
- Can this technology support 10x revenue growth?
- What's the realistic technology roadmap and required investment?
Without thorough technical due diligence, you risk overpaying for technical debt, discovering post-acquisition surprises, and missing value creation opportunities in your portfolio.
