Technical Due Diligence for Investors in Software Companies
I help investors evaluate software companies through independent assessments of architecture, security, engineering maturity, infrastructure, and delivery risk. I also help startups prepare for investor-grade diligence before a process begins.

Who I Work With
For Investors
Independent technical due diligence for software investments. I assess architecture, security, engineering maturity, infrastructure, and delivery risk before or during a transaction, and show you both material risks and the potential for value creation.
Investor due diligence →For Startups
Prepare for investor-grade technical due diligence. I help you identify weaknesses early, close potential deal-breaking gaps, and reduce avoidable friction in fundraising or M&A.
Startup readiness →What Is Technical Due Diligence?
Technical due diligence is an independent review of a software company's technology, covering architecture, engineering practices, security, infrastructure, operating maturity, and delivery risk. It helps investors understand what they are buying, identify material risks, and make better-informed decisions before or during a transaction.
What I Assess
Every engagement covers seven domains.
Architecture & Product Platform
Whether the platform can support the growth in the investment case: scalability, technical debt and how well the platform fits the product.
Engineering Execution & Quality
How reliably the team delivers: delivery discipline, testing and release quality.
Security, Privacy & Compliance
How access and data are protected, and whether there is evidence to support the company's security and compliance claims.
Infrastructure, Reliability & Operations
Cloud setup, resilience, observability and cost, and how the system is kept running day to day.
Data, Analytics & AI
The state of the data foundations, and how much substance there is behind any AI claims.
Team, Leadership & Delivery Model
The capability of the team and its leadership, key-person risk, and how the organisation is set up to deliver.
Technical Governance & Financial Awareness
Who owns which technical decisions, how they are made and recorded, and how well technology costs are understood and controlled.
What You Get
Risk and findings report
A concise written summary of material findings, organised by business impact and risk level. Short enough to read quickly, specific enough to support decisions.
Prioritised recommendations
Each finding is paired with a practical recommendation and an indication of likely effort. This helps distinguish what needs attention now from what can be addressed later.
Direct discussion of the findings
The work is designed to support direct discussion. I walk investors, founders, or management teams through the findings and the reasoning behind them.
Clear view of remediation effort
Where issues exist, the assessment distinguishes between quick fixes, structural improvements, and risks that are manageable but should be understood upfront.
The Platform
Your diligence results, readable at a glance.
Findings usually get lost in long PDFs. My assessment platform makes technology risk clearly visible and readable for investors, so you can see where a company stands and what needs attention without digging through pages of text.

And when you need it on paper, export the full report as a PDF.
Scored domains
All seven domains scored on one scale against a target line you can move, so strengths and weak spots are visible in seconds.
Visible red flags
Material risks are flagged where they occur and listed first in the synthesis, not buried in an appendix.
Clear recommendation and priorities
An overall recommendation, the top priorities selected by the lead reviewer, and one action plan with an owner and timing (pre-close, post-close or monitor) for every action.
Why Work With Me
I work independently, with no product to sell and no vendor relationships to protect. My role is to help investors and founders understand material technical risks clearly, discuss them honestly, and focus on the issues that matter most. My background is in building and operating software systems in high-growth environments. I assess from an operator's lens, not an auditor's checklist.
- Independent perspective
- Operator background in software and infrastructure
- Direct work with investors and founders
- Practical, decision-oriented assessments
Beyond the diligence moment, I also help investors maintain visibility into the technical posture of portfolio companies over time, and I am building tooling concepts that make tracking key signals across a portfolio more structured and usable.
