Due Diligence for Investment funds

Investment funds conduct due diligence before investing in companies with significant technological components.

While financial and legal due diligence are well-established practices, CODE932 provides a specialized Technology Due Diligence service.

This process begins by identifying the key technological aspects that investors consider valuable in a startup.

Often overlooked elements such as :

1. Intellectual property,

2. Reliance on third-party systems and dependencies on a limited number of solutions

3. Data security protocols can lead to significant challenges if not properly evaluated through a professional due       diligence process.

Following this, CODE932 engages with the startup directly. Our approach deliberately avoids the typical “Who worked here before?” line of questioning, instead focusing on establishing a collaborative relationship with the team.

The extensive experience of CODE932’s team, spanning nearly 20 years across various projects, technologies, and implementations, proves highly beneficial to the startup’s overall project development.

Our assessment produces a comprehensive report that serves two main purposes:

1. Confirms the authenticity of the startup’s pitch (their promise).

2. Evaluates fundamental aspects such as security measures, scalability potential, governance practices, technological approach, and any additional elements deemed crucial by the investing fund.

Goal: The final deliverable is an in-depth report that not only highlights areas for improvement for the startup but also provides the fund with a clear understanding of the company’s status.

We use a very simple Red, Amber, Green structure for everything that we check and find:

Red means that there is a definite and important problem, but we do suggest solutions.

Amber usually means that we found something that is not at standard, but it can usually be solved easily.

Green means that those areas work well, well enough for the next stage of the business.
