Technical Due Diligence
Investing in a startup? Invest with confidence, and know exactly what you’re paying for. Technical due diligence seeks to uncover several IT indicators – including performance, liabilities, key risks and opportunities, and potential investment needs associated with the acquired company’s digital products and IT stack.
talk to an expertTypically, Technical Due Diligence (Tech DD) is conducted before a mergers and acquisitions (M&A) transaction, before an initial public offering (IPO), or before the next round of investment. An investor usually initiates tech DD, but a company may initiate Tech DD itself before seeking funds or investment.

What we do during Tech DD
- Product analysis according to the Investment/Acquisition thesis
- All technical teams evaluation against a set of performance metrics
- Company security posture evaluation
- Deep dive into the Product quality assurance processes
