The Due Diligence Audit

Series A
Due Diligence
Risk Reduction

Fixed-fee codebase review before your Series A to de-risk the round.

Abstract gradient with soft light

Investors want proof that your technology can scale and that the team knows the risks. I provide a fixed-fee audit that gives founders a clear, credible technical narrative.

What you get

  • A scorecard across architecture, code quality, security, and delivery risks.
  • A prioritized remediation plan with timelines and cost estimates.
  • A summary you can share with investors or advisors.

Best for

Startups preparing for a Series A or acquisition and needing an independent technical review.

Request the Series A Technical Readiness Scorecard to pressure-test your stack before diligence begins and surface unpriced risk while there is still time to act.

Price the risk

In a Seed round, investors bet on the founder. In a Series A, they bet on the engine. Diligence is not a code review. It is risk containment. Investors do not eliminate risk, they price it, and unidentified risk stalls the round.

The line between debt and a deal-breaker is simple: if you cannot explain a risk in one sentence, along with who owns it and when it gets resolved, it is no longer debt. It is unmanaged liability. More context in the full article.
