Technology Due Diligence

Before you commit capital, you need to know whether the technology will scale, what it will cost to fix, and whether the engineering team can deliver. We provide independent technology due diligence that turns a target's codebase, infrastructure, and team into clear, investment-grade findings — the technical risks, their likely cost, and how they affect the thesis.

Diligence written for investors, not engineers

A good technical diligence report doesn't bury you in jargon — it tells you what the risks are, how much they matter, and what they'll cost. We assess codebase quality and maintainability, infrastructure and scalability, security posture, technical debt, and key-person risk, then translate all of it into findings an investment committee can act on.

Our team has built software for Fortune 500 companies and startups, run engineering organizations, and operated inside the world's largest hedge fund — so we read both the code and the business it's supposed to support.

AI readiness as a first-class question

In 2026, 'is this an AI company or a company with an AI slide?' is a diligence question in its own right. We assess whether a target's AI is a genuine differentiator or a thin wrapper, whether its data assets are defensible, and whether the architecture can actually support the roadmap management is selling.

Deliverables are timed to your deal process and scaled to deal size — from a focused red-flag review to a full technical assessment with remediation costing.

Service FAQ

Technology Due Diligence — FAQ

What does technology due diligence cost?

Technology due diligence is typically priced as a fixed fee scoped to deal size and depth — from a focused red-flag review for a smaller deal to a comprehensive assessment with remediation costing for a platform acquisition. We scope and quote against your specific target and timeline before any work begins.

How long does a technology diligence engagement take?

Most engagements run one to three weeks depending on scope and the target's responsiveness. We work to your deal calendar, and for time-critical situations we can deliver a focused red-flag assessment in a matter of days.

What do you actually assess?

We assess codebase quality and maintainability, infrastructure and scalability, security posture, technical debt, AI readiness and differentiation, and the capability and key-person risk of the engineering team — then translate it all into investment-grade findings with quantified remediation costs.
