Illustration: M&A technology due diligence & integration

Where you are. Where you’ll be.

You need this if

  • You're acquiring or investing in a technology-led company
  • The target's technology claims are central to the deal
  • Past integrations missed their synergy targets

What changes for your business

  • Price and terms that reflect real technology risk
  • No post-close surprises in code or security
  • Integration synergies delivered on schedule

What we hand over

  1. Code, architecture and security review
  2. Scalability, debt and key-person risk assessment
  3. Deal-ready findings with remediation costs
  4. Post-merger integration plan and execution

What it is

Technology due diligence is an independent expert review of a company's software, architecture, security and engineering organization, carried out before an acquisition or investment. It answers whether the technology can support the deal thesis, what fixing its weaknesses will cost, and which people the business cannot afford to lose.

Technical debt, security gaps and key-person risk rarely appear in a data room summary. Our engineers read the code, review the architecture and security, and interview the team, then report findings in deal terms: cost to fix, risk to the plan, and impact on valuation. After close, we plan and run the systems integration.

How it runs

  1. 01

    Diagnose

    Typically 2–4 weeks

    We map the problem, your data and your systems, and agree the one number that defines success.

  2. 02

    Prove

    Typically 4–8 weeks

    A working pilot on your real data, measured against that number. Not a slide demo.

  3. 03

    Ship

    Scoped to the outcome

    Production build with security, monitoring, cost controls and documentation included, not upsold.

  4. 04

    Run

    Ongoing, optional

    We operate what we built against clear service levels, or train your team to. Your call. No lock-in.

Questions you’ll ask

What does technical due diligence uncover that a data room doesn't?
Technical debt, security gaps, scalability limits, licensing issues in open-source use and key-person dependencies. Data rooms show what the seller chooses to present; reading the code shows what's actually there.
How fast can you turn around a review?
Scope and timing are set to the deal timetable. We agree the depth up front, such as a focused review of critical risks or a full assessment, so findings arrive before decisions are made.
Do you help after the deal closes?
Yes. We plan and run the systems integration, prioritizing the synergies the deal case depends on, which is where many past integrations fell short.
