Investor Consulting

Reduce risk.

Independent technical clarity for software and AI-driven investments.

We support investors with technical due diligence and ongoing advisory for cloud-native and AI-enabled companies. Our work focuses on identifying real technical risk, validating scalability claims, and assessing whether a company’s technology can support its business and growth plans.

We operate independently from founders and vendors, providing clear, evidence-based assessments that support informed investment decisions.

Technical due diligence

Understand what you are actually investing in.

Our technical due diligence goes beyond surface-level architecture reviews. We assess how a company builds, operates, and scales its technology in practice, with particular attention to AI and data-heavy systems.

Overall system and cloud architecture
Scalability, reliability, and operational maturity
Security posture and risk exposure
Data pipelines, AI workflows, and production readiness
Development practices and team capabilities
Technical debt and hidden cost drivers

AI and platform risk

Separating AI promise from production reality.

Many companies present strong AI narratives that are difficult to validate during an investment process. We help investors understand:

Whether AI systems are experimental or production-grade
Dependencies on fragile data pipelines or manual processes
Missing foundations for monitoring, retraining, and governance
Risks that may surface only at scale or under regulatory pressure

This allows investors to distinguish between demonstrable capability and future assumptions.

Post-investment support

We support portfolio companies after investment by:

Acting as independent technical advisors
Supporting architecture corrections and platform stabilisation
Assisting with AI-to-production transitions
Helping founders build internal engineering capability

This ensures that identified risks are addressed, not just documented.

FAQ

Common questions from investors

What does a technical due diligence cover?

Architecture, code quality, scalability, security posture, key-person risk, build-vs-buy choices, and whether the engineering organisation can deliver the roadmap. We deliver a written report that is candid enough to be useful and structured enough to share with the syndicate.

How long does a TDD typically take?

One to three weeks depending on company size and access. Pre-seed and seed go faster; growth-stage with multiple products takes longer. We work to the deal timeline.

What’s the most common red flag?

A small team that’s overcommitted, where the product depends on one or two engineers having all the context. Tech debt is fixable. People-shaped single points of failure are the real risk and rarely visible from the outside.

Can you do portfolio-wide reviews?

Yes. Several VCs use us for periodic check-ins across portfolio companies — a lightweight scan that surfaces issues before they become deal-stage problems.

How do you handle confidentiality?

NDAs as standard before any access. Reports are delivered to the named investor only. We do not advise the company we are reviewing during or after the diligence, to keep the seat clean.
