Exit Readiness Review
Get your technology house in order — before buyers start looking under the hood.
Overview
Pass Technical Due Diligence with Confidence
When you're preparing for an exit or a significant fundraise, your technology will face scrutiny. We help you see your tech stack through a buyer's eyes — identifying gaps in documentation, architecture, security, and operational maturity — and fix them before they become negotiation leverage against you.
The Problem
Why Technical Gaps Kill Deals
Most founders focus on revenue metrics and customer traction when preparing for an exit. But technical due diligence can surface issues that reduce valuation, delay closing, or kill deals entirely.
Valuation Haircuts
Undocumented architecture, high technical debt, and key-person dependencies are common findings in diligence — and each one gives buyers leverage to negotiate down your price.
Deal Delays
When diligence surfaces unexpected issues, timelines slip. Buyers request remediation, lawyers renegotiate terms, and momentum stalls. Preparation eliminates these surprises.
Preventable Failures
The issues that derail deals in diligence are almost always fixable — if you know about them in time. A proactive review gives you months to address gaps instead of days.
What We Deliver
A Buyer's-Eye View of Your Technology
Architecture Documentation Review
We assess your existing documentation against what buyers and investors expect to see — system architecture diagrams, data flow documentation, API specifications, and infrastructure topology. We identify what's missing and help you fill the gaps.
Technical Debt Inventory
A candid assessment of accumulated technical debt — deprecated dependencies, legacy systems, known bugs, and deferred maintenance. Each item is classified by severity and estimated remediation effort.
Security & Compliance Audit
Assessment of your security posture, data handling practices, access controls, and compliance certifications. We identify gaps that buyers will flag and prioritize what to fix before diligence begins.
Operational Maturity Assessment
Evaluation of your CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, incident response, on-call procedures, and disaster recovery. Operational maturity signals a team that can sustain the product post-acquisition.
Key-Person Risk Analysis
Identification of single points of failure in your engineering team — critical knowledge held by one person, undocumented tribal knowledge, and bus-factor risks. Includes recommendations for knowledge transfer.
Remediation Roadmap
A prioritized plan to address the most impactful issues before diligence begins. We focus on high-signal improvements that meaningfully reduce buyer risk perception and protect your valuation.
