Your technical partner in the trenches
Drive value, differentiation and de-risk deals through technical diligence & strategy rooted in a hands on, engineering-first approach.
Today's Challenge
Deals succeed or fail on what you can’t see.
Surface hidden risks and unlock hidden upside before you close.
Overlooked Value
Innovative IP, scalable platforms, and emerging AI/ML capabilities often underpin a company’s differentiated advantage yet go unnoticed in traditional diligence. These hidden assets can drive outsized returns when accurately valued. Our deep-dive uncovers these gems, empowering investors to find terminal value that might be less obvious.
Undiscovered Liabilities
Many target companies sit atop legacy architectures and accumulating technical debt that aren’t visible in financial models. Security gaps and poor SLAs can expose you to unexpected remediation costs and regulatory risk. Without engineer-led analysis, these issues often emerge post close and erode deal economics.
Post Close Surprises
Integration headaches—from tooling conflicts to process mismatches—can derail planned synergies and stall product roadmaps. Key personnel turnover or immature DevOps practices often surface only after closing. Our pre-close analysis flags these pitfalls and prescribes actionable integration roadmaps.
Unclear Tech Culture
Organizations often struggle to foster a cohesive tech culture that truly supports innovation and aligns with strategic goals. Silos between development, operations, and product teams can impede collaboration and lengthen time-to-market. We evaluate team dynamics and leadership alignment to give a full picture.

Why we're different
When you work with us, you'll realize we aren't your typical firm. After decades building in the industry ourselves, we realized that operators & buyers need an entrepreneurial partner that focuses more on Outcomes rather than Outputs.
