Technical Due Diligence
Independent technical assessments that give investors, acquirers, and founders an honest verdict on a codebase before capital changes hands.
What we do
Capital decisions deserve technical certainty. Our due diligence practice produces independent, evidence-backed verdicts on software systems for investors evaluating targets, acquirers planning integrations, and founders inheriting codebases. We review architecture, code quality, security posture, scalability headroom, and team practices. The deliverable is a scored assessment with a prioritized remediation plan, not a vague list of observations. Every review is led by engineers who have built and operated systems at comparable or greater scale.
CapabilitiesWhat we deliver
Pre-Investment Technical
Assessment
Due diligence for venture capital, private equity, and corporate development teams evaluating software companies. We review codebases, interview engineering teams, assess scalability risks, and produce reports that inform valuation and post-acquisition integration planning.
Codebase and Infrastructure
Audit
Review of code structure, module boundaries, test coverage, dependency health, and adherence to language-specific best practices. We assess whether the codebase will support the next two years of feature development or whether technical debt is approaching a tipping point.
Security and Scalability
Analysis
Evaluation of security posture across authentication, API protection, data handling, and infrastructure hardening. Combined with load testing and architectural analysis to identify scaling chokepoints, single points of failure, and inefficient data access patterns.
Risk Scoring and Remediation
Planning
Every finding is scored by severity and exploitation difficulty with specific remediation guidance. The output is a phased plan that separates urgent patches from strategic refactoring, with effort estimates so engineering or investment teams can plan against concrete numbers.
How we work togetherOur process
Scoping and
Access
We define the assessment boundaries with stakeholders, establish secure access to repositories, infrastructure, and documentation, and align on the questions the review needs to answer. Whether the context is a Series B investment, an acquisition, or an internal audit, the scope is tailored to the decision being made.
Codebase and Infrastructure
Audit
Senior engineers review code structure, dependency management, test coverage, deployment pipelines, database schemas, and infrastructure configuration. We examine architectural decisions against stated requirements, run static analysis, and assess whether the system as built matches the system as documented.
Security and Performance
Analysis
Vulnerability assessment aligned to OWASP Top 10 covering authentication, input validation, data encryption, access control, and dependency risks. Load testing against realistic traffic patterns, database query analysis, and application profiling to identify bottlenecks and scaling ceilings.
Verdict and Remediation
Roadmap
A scored report with findings categorized by severity, clear reproduction steps, and recommended fixes. The roadmap is phased into immediate fixes, short-term improvements, and longer-term architectural work, with effort estimates your team or acquirer can plan against.
