Technology Risk Is the Most Underpriced Risk in Your Deal.
Most LMM PE firms don't have dedicated tech expertise in-house. We plug in fast — before close, at close, and through the holding period — so technology becomes a value driver, not a liability.
The Hidden Risk in Every Deal
You're evaluating a $50M platform company. The quality of earnings looks strong. But what about the quality of the technology?
Outdated infrastructure, key-person dependencies, hidden security gaps, and compounding technical debt can turn a good-looking deal into a difficult hold — or a write-down. And by the time you discover it post-close, your leverage is gone.
Most LMM PE firms don't have a senior technology officer on staff. That gap is a risk on every deal.
How We Help
Pre-Close
Technology Due Diligence
-
A targeted assessment of the target's technology assets, infrastructure, team, security posture, and scalability.

Translated into business-relevant insights: IP transferability, key-person risk, near-term stabilization cost, and value creation opportunity.
-
Delivered in 2-4 weeks.
At Close
Post-Acquisition Stabilization
- The first 90 days post-close are critical.
- We ensure a clean transition, establish operating baselines, identify quick wins, and set the portfolio company up for the value creation plan.
Through the Hold

Most portfolio companies in the $20M–$200M range can't justify a full-time technology executive.

We serve as the technology leadership layer: strategic, accountable, and available when you need us.
