What financial due diligence misses
Financial DD is thorough
Financial DD is rigorous. Technical due diligence should verify the codebase, architecture, documentation, and development process, not conversations.
Common investment surprise
The biggest surprise after investing isn't financial. It's a codebase that only the founder understands and no one else can confidently maintain or scale.
Risks you can catch early
Key person dependency, undocumented architecture, and missing CI/CD can all be identified before closing the deal if you know what to look for.
For tech & non-tech people making technical decisions
VC analysts and partners
Evaluating target companies pre-investment through technical due diligence review.
PE portfolio managers
Assessing engineering risk during acquisition to uncover technical debt and scaling issues.
