Independent technology due diligence to support investment decisions - focused on risk, execution reality, and what actually matters post-close.
Discuss an engagementPortfolio execution
Ongoing technology operating partner support for portfolio companies - extending diligence insight into execution, scaling, and remediation.
Get remediation supportWe focus on the product and technology risks that materially affect valuation, deal certainty, and post-close execution.
Application, infrastructure, and data security posture, including vulnerabilities, access controls, incident history, and material exposure buyers need to understand early.
System design, critical dependencies, and whether the current architecture can scale reliably without introducing unacceptable cost or operational risk.
Intellectual property ownership, developer assignments, open-source usage, and codebase health, ensuring there are no gaps that could impair ownership or transferability.
Disaster recovery, RTO/RPO expectations, observability, and how the system behaves under failure conditions or operational stress.
Whether the product vision, roadmap, and prioritization are grounded in technical reality, and achievable with the current platform and team.
How work actually gets shipped, including team structure, development practices, technical leadership, and the gap between plans and execution.
The extent to which critical knowledge, decision-making, or execution depends on a small number of individuals, and the risk that creates for continuity.
The durability of the technology advantage, including proprietary systems, data, workflows, and the difficulty of replication by competitors.
Our work often begins at one point in the deal lifecycle and continues as needs evolve.
Sell-Side Pre-Deal
We help founders and leadership teams prepare for product and technology due diligence before a buyer is involved, identifying gaps early and reducing deal risk.
Buy-Side Diligence
We support investors and acquirers with independent product and technology due diligence during live deals, focused on material risk, execution reality, and post-close implications.
Post-Close Execution
We continue post-close as an operating partner, supporting remediation, execution, and long-term platform strength for owners and portfolio companies.
We look at the whole picture and staff our projects accordingly. Strong decisions come from assessing both product strategy and engineering execution together - as one team. And from having Product + Engineering experts working together.
We prioritise what moves the needle. No jargon or bloated reports - just clear, actionable insights you can use immediately. Our recommendations are grounded in the realities of your business stage, whether you're preparing for investment, planning a sale, or scaling fast.
Our team of experts has built and led technology businesses in high-growth, high-pressure environments. We've made the tough calls and delivered under scrutiny. That experience means we understand your realities in practice, not just in theory - and we use it to help you make better decisions.
