Technical due diligence before you wire the money.
An independent CTO-level review of the code, architecture, security and team behind a startup you are about to invest in or acquire. A clear risk report in days, written for decision makers.
What is technical due diligence?
Technical due diligence is an independent review of a startup's code, architecture, security, team and scalability before an investment or acquisition. Omer Muneer Qazi delivers a CTO-level written risk report, with red, amber and green findings and the estimated cost to fix each, usually within 5 to 10 working days.
The questions your term sheet depends on

Maintainability, test coverage, tech debt and how hard it will be to change.
Architecture and scale
Can it handle 10x the users? What breaks first, and what does it cost to fix?

Data handling, access control, GDPR, PCI-DSS and SOC 2 readiness.
Team and process
Who knows the system, key-person risk, delivery pace and engineering culture.
