Overview
When Private Equity or Venture Capital firms evaluate a technology company, they need an independent, expert assessment of what they’re buying. I provide structured buy-side tech due diligence that goes beyond surface-level reviews to uncover real risks, hidden costs, and concrete opportunities for value creation.
What I Deliver
- Rapid discovery – structured interviews, codebase analysis, infrastructure review, and team assessment, typically completed within 2–4 weeks
- Architecture & security review – evaluating system design, scalability limits, technical debt, and security posture
- Team assessment – skills, structure, retention risk, and capacity for the post-acquisition roadmap
- Cost-to-fix analysis – quantified effort and cost estimates for remediation of identified risks
- Value creation roadmap – prioritized initiatives that drive measurable improvement during the hold period
Track Record
I have conducted tech due diligence for PE firms acquiring companies across logistics, financial information, brokerage, and e-commerce in the DACH region. My assessments have directly informed investment decisions and shaped post-close execution plans.
In one engagement, I led the complete buy-side tech discovery for a logistics group acquisition – delivering a risk register with cost/effort sizing that became the foundation for the post-acquisition technology strategy.
How I Work
Due diligence engagements are typically 2–6 weeks, depending on scope and complexity. I work closely with the deal team, management, and external advisors to deliver findings that are actionable and investment-grade.
I can also continue into post-acquisition execution to ensure the value creation roadmap is actually delivered.
