Technical Due Diligence

Technical due diligence is the process of evaluating a software product's codebase, architecture, security, scalability, and team quality — typically performed before an investment, acquisition, or major partnership. It answers the question: "What is really under the hood, and what does it cost to maintain, scale, and improve?" The findings often change valuation conversations significantly.

Why It Matters

Investors and acquirers who skip technical due diligence regularly discover after closing that the product is built on a foundation that requires a full rewrite — turning a $5M deal into a $8M deal once engineering remediation is factored in. Technical due diligence prevents this surprise.

Problem It Solves

Eliminates information asymmetry between seller and buyer in technology transactions. A founder knows whether their codebase is clean or a house of cards; the buyer does not. Technical due diligence levels the field.

SaaS Architecture

SaaS (Software as a Service) architecture is how you design a software product that serves many customers simultaneously from a single codebase, billed on a subscription model. The architectural decisions — multi-tenancy, data isolation, usage-based scaling — determine whether your product can grow from 10 to 10,000 customers without a rewrite.

Backend Architecture

Backend architecture is the blueprint for everything that runs server-side — databases, APIs, business logic, authentication, queues, and services. It is invisible to your users but determines whether your product is fast, secure, reliable, and scalable. Wrong backend architecture choices compound over time into technical debt that eventually stops product development.

Cloud Architecture

Cloud architecture is the design of how your application uses cloud resources — compute, storage, networking, databases, and managed services — to achieve performance, availability, and cost objectives. The decisions made here (multi-region vs. single-region, serverless vs. containers, managed vs. self-hosted databases) are the infrastructure version of product architecture decisions: hard to change, and expensive when wrong.

SaaS Product Strategy

SaaS product strategy is the plan that defines what you build, for whom, at what price, and in what order — aligned with the goal of growing Monthly Recurring Revenue. It answers the questions that most product teams avoid: which customers to fire, which features to kill, and where to invest the next sprint. Without a coherent strategy, teams build what is loudest — not what matters.
