Assess the technical risk before you invest.Independent, in-depth assessment

Before you invest millions, you need to know what's under the bonnet. Tech due diligence reveals the risks the pitch deck doesn't show.

Signs you'll recognise

If more than one sounds familiar, it isn't a coincidence — it's a pattern.

You're evaluating an investment and the tech is a critical part of its value

The target company's tech team presents optimistic numbers, but you want independent validation

You don't have the in-house expertise to assess architecture, scalability and technical debt

You've already invested and the tech is turning out more fragile than expected

You need to know how much it will cost to scale the system after the investment

Tech due diligence isn't a punitive audit — it's an assessment that protects your investment.

Is the software already yours, and you want to know where technical debt is holding development back? Then you need a technical debt assessment.

Why it happens

Tech is often the least understood and riskiest part of an investment. Founders present growth metrics, but rarely the technical debt, architectural risks or fragility of the team.

Without an independent assessment, the investor relies on self-reported claims. But the team is incentivised to minimise problems — not through bad faith, but natural bias.

Hidden costs surface after the investment: necessary rewrites, urgent hires, downtime, security problems. Due diligence identifies them beforehand.

Good tech due diligence doesn't block the investment — it informs it. It lets you negotiate better, plan for the post-investment phase and mitigate risk.

How we step in

We work inside your organisation, not from the outside. Change happens in the code and in the teams.

Code review and architecture

We analyse the codebase, the architecture, the dependencies and the technical debt. We assess the system's scalability and maintainability.

Team and processes

We assess the team structure, skills, delivery processes and engineering culture. We identify key-person risk.

Security and compliance

We analyse the security posture, how sensitive data is handled, and regulatory compliance (GDPR, etc.).

Report and recommendations

We deliver a detailed report with findings, quantified risks and concrete recommendations for after the investment.

What changes afterwards

Quantified risks

Every technical risk is identified, classified and quantified in terms of impact and cost.

An informed decision

The investor has everything they need to decide and negotiate.

Post-investment plan

Concrete recommendations for mitigating risk after the investment.

Independent assessment

An impartial evaluation from engineers who work on code every day, not from consultants.
