Evaluate
Are you ready?
We assess your technology, product, and team before high-stakes decisions so you can move forward with confidence.Independent, Forensic, Actionable
You can't manage what you can't see
Most companies discover critical technical issues at the worst possible time:
During Due Diligence
“The acquirer found problems we didn't know existed. Our valuation dropped 20%.”
What if you'd known six months earlier?
After the Close
“This acquisition can't integrate with our platform. The investment thesis is broken.”
What if you'd known before signing?
When Scaling Hits a Wall
“Our architecture can't handle the growth. We're rewriting everything under pressure.”
What if you'd known before Series B?
By the time problems surface, your options are limited. We assess technical reality before decisions are made—while you still have time to act.
