Technical due diligence
Looking to check what’s under the hood of the tech venture you are about to invest in? Or maybe you are a founder looking to validate your product and tech?
We do full tech due diligence for start-ups and investors. Our framework covers all relevant topics and equips you with actionable output, red flag indications, and post-investment priorities.
Topics covered
Our framework covers all relevant topics and equips you with actionable output, red flag indications, and post-investment priorities.
Product & tech strategy
Product goals compared to strategy and evaluation of code base and tech stack’s scalability.
Leadership and team
Analysis of the current product team and the hiring plan compared to the strategy and road map.
Product quality
Code structure and performance, and level of legacy code compared to the age of the product.
Ways of working
Evaluation of the ability to deliver quality on time and meet the strategic goals.
Infrastructure and security
Possible risks and vulnerabilities to address, and ability to scale the infrastructure as required.
The output of tech due diligence
All tech ventures face challenges. That’s why we use a rating system that helps us identify, frame, and highlight the urgency of each of them.
Each section is rated from 1 to 5 based on interviews with the product and tech team, code review, and desk analysis of shared information. Easily comprehendible even for non-tech readers.
Ultimately, we conduct a Penetration Test to test any vulnerabilities in the software.
