Technically ready for the next due diligence.
We prepare tech stack, team, and documentation for the buyer's due diligence, before it begins.
We fix what a buyer would find before they look
Ahead of an exit, the portfolio company itself faces a due diligence, this time from the seller's side. Unclear architecture, missing documentation, or a team with high key-person risk turn into price discounts or delays during the buyer's DD.
We review, from a buyer's perspective, which points would stand out in a tech DD, and fix the most critical ones in time, before the process starts: catching up on documentation, justifying architecture decisions, reducing dependence on individual people.
The goal is a company whose tech stack and team tell a clear, positive story in the data room, instead of prompting follow-up questions.
Simulated buyer DD, documentation, and data room
Simulated buyer DD
A review of your own technology from the perspective of an external due-diligence team.
Closing documentation gaps
Catching up on missing architecture and process documentation expected in the data room.
Reducing key-person risk
Actions to embed critical knowledge held by individuals in the team more broadly.
Prioritized action list
A concrete list of points that should be fixed before the sale process starts.
Data room preparation
Support building the technical section of the data room.
From a simulated DD to a completed data room
- 01
Run a simulated DD
We review architecture, documentation, and team the way a buyer's DD team would.
- 02
Prioritize risks
We rank findings by how strongly they could affect price or process.
- 03
Fix critical points
We fix or document the most important points together with the existing team.
- 04
Prepare the data room
We support putting together the technical documents for the data room.
Portfolio companies before the sale process
| Situation | Our approach |
|---|---|
| An exit process is in planning | Timely preparation before the buyer starts its own DD |
| Architecture or process documentation has gaps | Catching up on documentation before building the data room |
| High dependence on individual technical people | Actions to reduce key-person risk |
Our approach: Timely preparation before the buyer starts its own DD
Our approach: Catching up on documentation before building the data room
Our approach: Actions to reduce key-person risk
We don't whitewash findings for the process
We don't polish findings for the sale process. If a risk can't be fixed in time, we recommend disclosing it openly in the data room instead of hiding it.
