Common Questions
How is your due diligence different from big consulting firms?
We're operators, not consultants. We've built and scaled the systems we're assessing. Our reports include actionable technical recommendations, not just risk matrices. And we can help implement fixes, not just identify problems.
What's your typical turnaround time?
Pre-investment due diligence: 1-2 weeks. M&A due diligence: 2-4 weeks. We can expedite for time-sensitive deals with appropriate notice.
Can you help if we find issues during due diligence?
Yes. Unlike pure advisory firms, we can embed engineers to fix issues pre-close or support post-merger integration. We've done this for multiple acquisitions.
Do you work with the portfolio company or just the investor?
Either or both. For pre-investment DD, we typically work directly with the investor. For ongoing advisory, we work with the portfolio company with investor visibility.
What industries do you cover?
We have deep experience in healthcare (HIPAA), fintech (SOC 2, PCI), gaming/betting, and B2B SaaS. We can assess most software businesses but add most value in regulated or high-scale environments.
