Request Due Diligence ServicesWhat is Technical Due Diligence?
Technical due diligence is a comprehensive assessment of a company's technology assets, capabilities, and risks. It provides investors and acquirers with the critical insights needed to make informed decisions about technology investments.
With my extensive experience as a CTO and engineering leader, I conduct thorough evaluations that go beyond surface-level code reviews. I assess not just what exists today, but the scalability, maintainability, and strategic value of the technology.
My due diligence process uncovers hidden risks, validates technology claims, and provides actionable recommendations that can significantly impact deal valuation and post-acquisition integration planning.
