      How we can help

      Tech Due Diligence

      We assess a company’s technology platform across product functionality, infrastructure, security, and innovation potential to surface risks, reveal opportunities, and determine a target’s full potential. 

      Tech Due Diligence
      • Overview
      • What to Expect
      • Experience
      • Insights
      • Our Team
      • Related Offerings

      The strongest deal decisions come from more than commercial diligence alone.  Technology is often a dealmaker or a deal breaker. Investors and acquirers must understand not only whether a company’s technology is fit-for-purpose today, but whether it can scale, evolve, and create lasting value.  

      We help clients win by delivering a truly integrated diligence, combining technical, commercial, and operational insights into one clear investment story. 

      Our Approach

      Our Approach

      Our depth and technical rigor set us apart. Our team of former CTOs, software engineers, and product strategists goes deep on architecture, backlog, generative AI, cybersecurity, and more, and then connects the dots to business outcomes. We translate technology strengths and weaknesses into measurable financial impact, equipping clients with the clarity and confidence they need to invest, operate, and set a winning course for long-term growth.

      We go well beyond risk identification to:

      • Uncover opportunities for growth, efficiency, and innovation.
      • Provide actionable insights that unlock value both at the deal stage and beyond.
      • Link  diligence with  value creation planning to enable speed, efficiency, and integrated value capture across the full investment lifecycle.
      • Assess a target’s technology products to determine customer satisfaction and market viability, potential impacts from AI, competitive positioning, development strategy, and more.

      What to Expect
