Technical Due Diligence for Investors
What You Get
A technical due diligence report that an investment committee can actually use — not a checkbox exercise, but a substantive evaluation of what the target company’s technology really is, what risks it carries, and whether the team can execute.
This surfaces the issues a pitch deck doesn’t mention: the undocumented vendor dependency that makes the platform unportable, the founding team’s actual depth versus their claimed expertise, the architecture decisions that will require a painful rewrite at Series B scale.
-
Architecture Review
Assessment of system design, scalability, technical debt, security posture, and vendor lock-in — with a plain-language explanation of what the technology actually does versus what the deck says it does.
-
Team Evaluation
Structured evaluation of the technical team’s depth, relevant experience, and ability to execute the roadmap they’ve committed to.
-
Risk Scorecard
Prioritized risk register covering technology, team, IP, integrations, and technical roadmap credibility — with an overall technical risk rating and go/no-go perspective.
