Simon Weinberg on the intersection of tech, law, and investment in modern due diligence

► How do legal and technical due diligence impact business, investment, and deal success?

In the next episode of The Dev is in the Details, our guest, Simon Weinberg from Asserson, shares his take on legal and technical due diligence, what’s actually important to investors, and what they look for in the process.

In this conversation, we focus on three things: legal, financial, and technical aspects of due diligence, and why business owners and founders shouldn’t treat them separately. Besides, we’re discussing the importance of IP ownership, data mapping, and licenses and how they can impact the deal, the due diligence “hygiene”, and the AI role in today’s investment landscape.

Simon highlights not only these three aspects of the due diligence process but also the value of the approach, what’s actually fixable, and best practices for making the most of it.
