A bad technology investment doesn’t announce itself. It waits — until after close, when the hidden complexity, the unmaintainable codebase, the undisclosed compliance exposure, or the team that’s one resignation away from chaos becomes your problem. A rigorous technical due diligence can surface all of it before you’re on the hook.
What We Assess
Our due diligence engagements are thorough by design. We go beyond a surface-level technology review to give your deal team a complete picture of what the target actually looks like under the hood.
Architecture & Scalability
We review the system design, infrastructure, deployment practices, and scaling posture. Can this platform actually handle the growth trajectory you’re underwriting? What breaks first — and how expensive is it to fix?
Engineering Team & Practices
A codebase is only as sustainable as the team maintaining it. We evaluate team structure, velocity, retention risk, documentation culture, and the presence (or absence) of institutional knowledge that leaves with key people.
Technical Debt & Code Quality
We assess the depth and distribution of technical debt — not just its existence, but whether it’s manageable or a ticking clock. This includes dependency health, test coverage, security posture, and code maintainability.
Compliance & Regulatory Exposure
This is especially critical for firms focused on fintech, healthtech, legaltech, or any regulated vertical. We identify compliance gaps, data handling risks, and whether the company’s current practices will survive the regulatory scrutiny that comes with a transaction or growth event.
Why It Matters
Technology due diligence is one of the highest-leverage activities in a PE deal. A firm that skips it — or does it superficially — often discovers the real story after close, when remediation is significantly more expensive and timelines are no longer flexible.
We’ve seen acquisitions where the technical debt alone represented material value destruction. We’ve also seen companies with perfectly clean, modern stacks that justified premium multiples. Knowing the difference before you sign is the job.
