Looking for a clearer picture of your next tech company investment or acquisition?
Growth companies, venture funds, and private equity firms interested in investing, merging, or acquiring tech companies often need an outside assessment of the technology or product to understand if it’s a good fit, if it’s secure, and if it will scale for future growth. Technical due diligence is a necessary step to ensure a complete picture of the assets and liabilities an organization acquires, uncover risks, and potentially avoid costly investments to address the technology risks of the target company.
