Protect Your Investment. Maximize Portfolio Value.

Independent technical due diligence and strategic CTO support for PE/VC firms evaluating and managing technology companies.

The Problem

Most PE/VC firms lack deep technical expertise to evaluate acquisition targets. They rely on the target company's own team to assess technology risk — a clear conflict of interest. That leaves you exposed to hidden technical debt, security gaps, scalability limits, and team capability issues that only surface after the deal closes.

What I Deliver

  • Pre-acquisition technical due diligence (architecture, security, scalability, team assessment)
  • Post-acquisition technology leadership for portfolio companies
  • CTO search support and interim technology leadership during transitions
  • Technology value creation roadmaps for portfolio companies

Why Me

I'm currently serving as CTO for a platform undergoing active M&A due diligence — I understand both sides of the table. My environment is SOC 2 Type II certified. I have hands-on experience with AWS GovCloud and FedRAMP. That means I can assess technology risk, team capability, and integration complexity with the same lens your target's next CTO would use.

I don't just review slides. I review architecture, code quality, security posture, and organizational health. You get an executive-ready report with a risk matrix, recommendations, and effort estimates — so you can make informed investment decisions.

Engagement Model

Fixed-fee due diligence engagements ($15,000–$25,000 depending on scope) with optional ongoing advisory retainer for portfolio support. Scope and deliverables are defined upfront. No hourly surprises.
