Problem → Action → Outcome

A quick operator-level summary of what changed.

Problem

A high-volume betting analytics platform was heading into acquisition talks with latency issues, incomplete documentation, and limited visibility into infra risk.

Action

HyperNest joined as technical diligence partners, optimized the data pipeline, built dashboards, and produced the dataroom artifacts acquirers needed.

Outcome

OddsJam cut latency by 35%, resolved 11 critical issues before close, and completed the Gambling.com acquisition with a confident technical story.

The challenge

OddsjAm’s analytics platform processed high-frequency betting data. Prospective acquirers needed proof it could scale globally without reliability risks.

What we built

As diligence partners we remediated performance bottlenecks, built dashboards, and created documentation for corp dev, legal, and security stakeholders. Our Staff Security Engineers Naveen and Rohan conducted comprehensive VAPT and security hardening to prepare for acquirer scrutiny.

How this applies to other startups
