Independent Technical Due Diligence for Investors & M&A
Uncover hidden tech debt, IP compliance risks, and infrastructure bottlenecks before deploying capital—delivered in 5 to 7 days.
De-Risk Tech Investments Before Closing the Deal
For Angel Syndicates, VC Funds, Private Equity firms, and M&A Advisors, evaluating early-stage or growth-stage tech companies presents a major challenge:
The Pitch Deck Dilemma: A polished demo and impressive ARR figures can easily hide fragile monoliths, unscalable database queries, or critical key-person dependencies.
Post-Investment Drag: Unidentified technical debt can derail a 12-month post-funding product roadmap, burning investor capital on unexpected re-architecture rather than growth.
As a former CTO, Enterprise Architect, and startup founder with experience contributing to $40M+ enterprise deals, I provide objective, fast-turnaround technical audits. I evaluate codebase health, cloud infrastructure, domain compliance, and team capability so you can invest with clarity.
What We Evaluate in Every Audit
Codebase Health & Architectural Durability
- Code Quality & Technical Debt: Static analysis of source code (.NET, Java, React, Node, Python) to assess test coverage, modularity, and technical debt.
- Database & Scalability Limits: Evaluating database design (PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, NoSQL) to identify query bottlenecks and single points of failure under 10x traffic.
- API & Microservices Architecture: Verifying API integration standards, rate limiting, and system decoupling.
Cloud Infrastructure & Security Posture
- Cloud Scalability & Reliability: Auditing AWS, Azure, or hybrid setups for deployment efficiency, redundancy, and disaster recovery readiness.
- Unit Economics & Cloud Spend: Evaluating hosting efficiency to ensure cloud infrastructure costs scale linearly—not exponentially—with user growth.
- Cybersecurity Standards: Assessing data encryption (at rest and in transit), IAM roles, vulnerability patching, and access controls.
IP Ownership, Licensing & Domain Compliance
- Open-Source Licensing Risks: Identifying copyleft or restrictive licenses (GPL/AGPL) that could compromise proprietary software IP.
- Regulatory Compliance: Auditing data privacy frameworks and regulatory alignment for domain-specific platforms (HIPAA, EHR, GDPR, PCI-DSS).
Team Execution & Key-Person Dependency
- Key-Person Risk: Assessing knowledge centralization to determine if platform maintenance depends critically on a single developer.
- DevOps & Delivery Velocity: Evaluating deployment frequency, CI/CD pipeline automation, and Agile workflow maturity.
