Due diligence
Let our experts help you make better investment
decisions through evaluating your prospects
Our areas of expertise
We use our extensive experience in product building, product lifecycle, and technologies to perform comprehensive due diligence on your project. We provide a focused analysis in one or more key areas, depending on your project’s individual needs.
Technical due diligence
We build an overview of the project’s technological landscape by inspecting its codebase and selected technologies, identifying potential risks, and suggesting mitigative actions.
Product due diligence
We review a product’s concept, customer value proposition, and required features. Based on our analysis, we provide a list of possible risk factors, key actionable areas, and solutions to resolve issues.
Operational due diligence
By analysing your team structure along with the current stage of the project’s development, we provide insights regarding possible risks and advice on optimising business operations.
Investment audits
This comprehensive process combines each of the key areas of due diligence. An investment audit provides a detailed look into the crucial aspects that can either make or break a successful venture.
Our framework
Our framework is the outcome of our team’s years of accumulated experience.
Our knowledge gained while founding and working at startups has given us a unique perspective that we use to perform extensive analyses of startups at different stages.
Artefacts
Through a review and analysis of existing project deliverables and documentation, we establish a reference point for further findings prior to focusing on the larger objectives of due diligence.
Vision
We verify the overall vision for the product in order to ensure that project members and key stakeholders have a shared understanding of what’s being created.
Team
By working together with a project team, we aim to gain insights about them (skillsets, proper workflows, an understanding of the product vision) that ultimately contribute to the venture’s success.
Finances
We investigate project costs and cross-reference the budget with our findings from previous steps. This could also include a review of the business model, revenue projections, and other monetary aspects.
Our process
Due Diligence process steps are tailored to give deep insight into every key area of the project. Our goal is to identify all possible risks that can prevent successful market delivery of the product. Each of the risks is described with both severity of the risk and future impact explained in the audit report. The due diligence report can contribute significantly to planning short- and long-term strategies for risk mitigations and product development.
This is the initial step of the process. Here we present the process itself with all of its deliverables. We go through each step and explain what is the purpose, outcome and goal each stage. We also establish a timeline for the whole due diligence and set a series of briefing interviews with the key stakeholders.
Document review step is where we deep dive into available project documentation, diagrams, code repositories and every other type of project artefact available. This allows us to build background knowledge about the project that will be a reference point in the next steps, identify initial areas to review and prepare questions for team interviews.
At this stage, we take an even more detailed view in project artefacts - review the code, check test coverage, commits to the code repository. We also conduct a series of interviews and workshops with project team members. Finally, we review project financials and budget spending.

This is the step when we share with the customer our initial findings, list critical areas we should focus future inquiries and start forming the final report. This usually has a form of high-level summary followed by a call or meeting when we discuss the next steps.
Discussing the final report is the last step of the process. During the debriefing, we go through the content of the document with the customer and highlight the most significant findings and risk areas for the project. This is done with some additional context added on top of the report content and some suggestions on how to proceed from this point. This provides a full overview of the project situation for the customer along with possible ways to proceed from here on project delivery.
