For businesses raising or selling
Investors and acquirers will look hard at your technology, and surprises in diligence cost you, in price, in terms, or in the deal itself. We help you get ready before the examination starts: a clear-eyed assessment of what they will find, the risks worth fixing first, and the evidence and narrative that give buyers and investors confidence. The aim is no nasty surprises, and a technology story that supports your valuation rather than undermining it.
What we look at
Your architecture and scalability, security and compliance posture, data and IP, technical debt, key-person and supplier dependencies, and whether your technology can actually support the growth the plan promises. These are the areas diligence targets, so these are the areas we strengthen.
For investors assessing a target
If you are evaluating an investment or acquisition, we provide independent technology due diligence: a clear, commercial read on whether the technology stands up. We assess the real state of the platform and the team, the risks and the cost to put them right, and whether the technology supports the growth case, and we report it in language that informs the deal, not in jargon that obscures it.
Why Keekco for this
Most technology diligence is done by people who have never been on the other side of it. This is led by someone who took a biotech from inception to a NASDAQ listing in eighteen months, and who has built and secured technology in regulated, scrutinised environments. That means we know what investors and acquirers actually look for, where deals get into trouble, and how to present technology so it strengthens a transaction. You get a commercial perspective, not just a technical one, and you work directly with the principal.
Readiness well before the deal
The best time to prepare is before a process starts, not during it. A technology review some months ahead surfaces the issues while there is still time to fix them, so you enter diligence from strength. Leaving it until the deal is live means fixing things under pressure, in full view of the other side.

Frequently asked questions
- What is technology due diligence?
- It is an assessment of a business's technology as part of an investment or acquisition: its architecture, scalability, security, data, technical debt and team, and whether the technology can support the growth being promised. It informs the price, the terms and the decision to proceed.
- What is technology investment readiness?
- It is preparing your technology, and the evidence and narrative around it, so it stands up to investor or acquirer scrutiny. Done ahead of a process, it lets you fix issues before they are found and present a technology story that supports your valuation.
- Do you work for the company or the investor?
- Both, on different engagements. We help companies get ready for diligence, and we carry out independent diligence for investors and acquirers assessing a target. We are clear about which side we are on in any given engagement.
- When should we start preparing?
- Well before a deal process begins, ideally several months ahead. That gives time to fix the issues diligence would otherwise expose, rather than scrambling under pressure while the other side watches.
- What makes Keekco suited to this?
- Direct experience of the other side: leading a biotech from inception to a NASDAQ listing in eighteen months, plus building and securing technology in regulated environments. That means a commercial read on what investors and acquirers look for, not just a technical checklist.
- How is this different from a 360 technology review?
- A 360 review is a broad strategic assessment for the business's own purposes. Technology due diligence is specifically framed around a transaction, what a buyer or investor will examine and how it affects the deal, though a review is often the right first step toward readiness.
