Technical Due Diligence

I n v e s t o r s  

 

Since we are active investors, we know what it takes to select a golden opportunity, and protect it's growth.

 

 

We can help you maximize your investment and minimize your risks by helping you avoid mistakes before you sign on the dotted line. Our winning technology team, including senior architects from IBM, Sun, Sprint, NASA, Visa, and US West, means we really understand the bits and bytes. And our experience in investing means we know what you want to know AND what you need to know.

The way we do this by following these steps:

Pre-Investment Technical Due Diligence

We help you separate the "gold from the lead" among your startups. With our proprietary technical due diligence process, we'll give you an independent, objective assessment, focusing on your risks as an investor, to help you discover any blemishes or technical obstacles before you invest. We are investors as well as experts on technology, so we'll give you a due diligence perspective you can't find elsewhere.

Post Investment Monitoring

Like a CTO "to spare", we'll monitor your startup to make sure it stays on track, especially during the critical ramp-up phase. We'll help make sure your software is:

  • scaleable
  • secure
  • available
  • flexible
  • maintainable

Interim CTO

We'll assign a CTO to manage your systems development and make sure your team delivers on time, on spec, and on budget. We'll make sure your team considers all the critical issues that others often forget, like security and scalability. We'll make sure your team minimizes project risks, and delivers the best possible result, at the best possible price.

Full Implementation Partner

We are cost effective, because we do the design and project management in California, but out source the implementation to our affiliates in Asia. We'll design your new systems, build and deploy them for you, and manage the project. We'll help hire permanent staff, and train them for you. We'll always be there as your business grows.
