Technical Due Diligence for Deal Makers.
TechSight partners with private equity firms, family offices, search funds, and M&A advisors to deliver the technical ground truth behind software acquisitions — before, during, and after the deal.
Who We Are
We Read the Code Behind the Deal
Financial and legal diligence are table stakes. Technical diligence is where software deals are actually won or lost — and where most deal teams have a blind spot. TechSight is the technical partner on your side of the table: we read the target's actual code, stress-test the architecture, and translate what we find into deal terms, remediation costs, and integration plans. Fixed scope, deal-speed turnaround, and engagement structures that align our upside with yours.
Buy-Side Technical Diligence
Know exactly what you're buying — before you sign.
A polished demo and a growing revenue line can hide a codebase that fails at 10x scale, a single-region deployment with no disaster recovery, and an engineering team one resignation away from a knowledge crisis. We deliver an independent technical assessment that starts with the code itself — not just team interviews — and ends with a risk register priced in remediation dollars you can take straight into negotiation.
Technical Due Diligence
Code, architecture, infrastructure, security, and team assessment — delivered in 2–3 weeks to fit deal timelines.
Red-Flag Review
Fast, early-stage technical screen for deals still in the pipeline — before you commit to full diligence.
Scalability & Cost Modeling
Will the platform survive the growth in your model? We test the architecture against your investment thesis.
Risk Register & Remediation Costs
Prioritized technical risks with dollar estimates — direct input for price adjustments, holdbacks, and earn-outs.
Deals fall apart — or get repriced — when the buyer's diligence team finds problems the seller didn't know they had. We work with M&A advisors and their sell-side clients to find and fix those problems before the target goes to market: technical debt triage, security and compliance gaps, documentation, and the diligence-room story. A clean technical narrative protects valuation and keeps deals on schedule.
Exit Readiness Review
Pre-market technical assessment through a buyer's eyes — fix issues before diligence finds them.
SOC 2 Readiness
Close the compliance gap that stalls enterprise deals and spooks acquirers — gap analysis to roadmap in 2–3 weeks.
Diligence Preparation
Architecture documentation, data-room technical materials, and rehearsal for the buyer's technical Q&A.
Remediation Sprints
We don't just find the issues — we can fix the highest-impact ones before buyers look under the hood.
Sell-Side & Exit Readiness
Protect valuation before buyers look under the hood.
Post-Close Value Creation
The diligence report becomes the first-100-days plan.
The team that found the risks is the best team to fix them. Post-close, we convert diligence findings into an executed technical plan: integration, disaster-recovery hardening, cloud cost reduction, compliance, and AI-driven product improvements that grow the multiple. For portfolio companies that need ongoing technical leadership, we serve as fractional CTO — hands-on, not advisory theater.
First-100-Days Technical Plan
Prioritized execution of diligence findings — stabilize, de-risk, and build the growth foundation.
Post-Acquisition Integration
Merge codebases, consolidate infrastructure, and retain the engineering talent that came with the deal.
Portfolio Fractional CTO
Ongoing technical leadership for portfolio companies without a full-time CTO hire.
AI & Cost Value Creation
Ship AI features to production and cut cloud spend — measurable EBITDA and multiple expansion.
Roll-Up Platform Consolidation
One operational platform across every add-on — configured per entity, live in weeks, operated by us.
Team & Key-Person De-Risking
Post-close hiring, team structure, and knowledge transfer for the engineering org you just acquired.
