Independent technology advisory for investors

Daniel Molloy helps investors, boards, and technology companies make the right decisions.

Why it works

Judgement first. Technology second.

An important technology decision needs more than a confident opinion. It needs evidence, examined by someone with nothing to sell on the back of it. That is what this practice does.

Independent

No software to sell. No stake in the outcome beyond getting the decision right.

Evidence-based

Findings come from code, architecture, contracts, and costs, not from interviews alone.

Plain English

Board-ready findings. Clear risks, clear costs, clear next steps.

Discreet

Under NDA as standard. The work is never spoken about.

One practice. Five ways to engage.

Technical due diligence

An independent view of the technology behind a deal, before the money is committed.

Cloud & software delivery

When the advice calls for building, a senior team does the work. Delivery supports the advice. It never leads.

Who Daniel works with

Investors first: venture capital partners, family offices, private equity, and angel investors. Then the CEOs, founders, boards, and CTOs facing the same decisions from the other side. The work is the same in both directions: an independent view of a technology decision that is hard to reverse.

What people say

References from leaders who needed technical depth, calm assessment, and clear answers under pressure.

Clarity under pressure

Daniel worked on some highly visible customer deliveries. Some of these were extremely complex but Daniel picked each up and turned them around in next to no time and to a great standard, meaning minimum time for on-site implementation and troubleshooting and maximum positive impact on Snell's reputation with the customer (and colleagues!).

Trusted advisor

Daniel was a very helpful contact within the development team, willing to manage his time to assist us with ad-hoc queries without impacting his primary tasks. His cheerful nature, patience and willingness to explain solutions were appreciated in what could be a pressing environment.

Boardroom to dev team

I was always impressed with not only your understanding of 'what' technology, but more importantly the 'why' technology. Having the business aptitude and ability to explain heavy development concepts to a boardroom as well as boardroom level concepts to dev teams is a massive skill to have in an organisation.

How an engagement runs

The same structure whether it is a two-week review or a standing role. Confidential throughout.

01
Start with the decision
What you are deciding, by when, and what happens if you get it wrong. The scope, timeline, and access follow from that.
02
Examine the evidence
Code, architecture, contracts, costs, teams, claims: whatever bears on the decision.
03
Advise in plain English
What is solid, what is fragile, what it means commercially, and what Daniel would do in your position.
04
Support the outcome
A report and briefing, a seat at the table, or delivery under the same standards.
