What we do
Technical expertise for investment firms — in the office or inside the portfolio. Every engagement is scoped to your firm, your timeline, and the decision in front of you.
Technical Due Diligence
An independent assessment of the technical value of a company before investment or acquisition — code, cloud, security, IP, AI claims, and team dependency.
AI & Data Platform Assessment
Verification of AI claims, data ownership, model architecture, telemetry, inference costs, and genuine capability vs marketing.
Technology Risk Review
Rapid technical screening for investors evaluating software, SaaS, healthcare, AI, or venture-backed companies.
Fractional CTO Advisory
Ongoing technical counsel for investment firms, deal teams, portfolio companies, and founders who need senior technology judgement.
Technical due diligence: what we assess
When the engagement is a due diligence review, this is what it covers.
How well the software is built, where the debt sits, and what it would cost to fix — in terms a deal team can use.
Vulnerabilities, data handling, access control, and the security practices behind the product.
Whether AI claims are real — model architecture, training data, inference costs, telemetry, and genuine capability vs marketing.
Bus factor, knowledge concentration, documentation, and how dependent the technology is on individual people.
Whether the architecture supports the growth plan, and how cloud spend behaves as the business scales.
Whether the technology genuinely supports the story being sold — differentiation, IP, data, and platform risk.
Intellectual property & code ownership
In a software deal, the intellectual property is the asset. Every due diligence engagement checks whether the company owns what it is selling — and whether anything in the codebase could undermine the IP position after completion.
Whether contractors, employees, and past collaborators have properly assigned their intellectual property — so the company actually owns the code it depends on.
Which open-source licences sit in the codebase, and whether copyleft obligations (GPL, AGPL) create disclosure or commercial risk.
The provenance of third-party components and AI-generated code, and whether their terms are compatible with how the software is licensed and sold.
Findings lawyers and deal teams can use to support IP warranties, indemnities, and disclosure before transaction terms are finalised.
How it works
A structured process designed for quick turnaround and confidential timelines, whether the engagement is a one-off review or an ongoing role.
