Our due diligence audits explained in 1 minute
What is our technical audit report?
In one sentence: it’s a very detailed document (15-20 pages), covering all the risks associated with your current technology, codebase, and team-level problems that will eventually prevent your software product from scaling.
Around 90% of SaaS startups fail within 3 years from launching despite having access to sufficient funding. One of the main reasons is their inability to predict what could go wrong with their product, team, or both.
Through our unique auditing process, we’ll help you avoid that scenario. Apart from the specific areas you’ll like us to cover, we’ll also get you answers to the key questions every CTO, Founder, or SaaS team leader should know:
- Is our software solution ready to scale?
- How much legacy code and technical debt does my product have?
- Are my software developers actually seniors?
- Why does my engineering team keep missing deadlines?
- Will we be able to handle scaling our SaaS product with our current team, technology, and processes?
Why 50+ startups chose our audits
We asked our clients why they decided to hire our team to conduct technical audits for them. Among many reasons, 3 have been mentioned over and over again:
1. Our developers and engineers are the best in the world
No other company can offer the time and devotion of as many experts as we do. We’ve been coding and running our own technical companies for decades, and our shared expertise allows us to identify 95% of problems that are slowly destroying our clients’ products. The other 5%? We might need a day or two to figure it out.

2. We’re brutally honest and discover every threat
We’ll provide unbiased insights on the condition of your business and your team. We have a reputation of “Gordon Ramsey’s startup nightmares”, because we’ll reveal the ugly truth about what’s wrong with your code, communication, and development plans, even if it (slightly) hurts.
We’re all very nice guys, but we also know that only honesty can guarantee success. Sure, we can tell you everything is OK, but that won’t save your product from failing 2 years from now…
3. We’re laser-focused on startups
Auditing startups is very different to auditing other types of businesses, because there are many obstacles to be aware of when trying to scale up (like funding, recruitment, or extreme uncertainty about the future). We know these stuggles very well, because:
- We own startups ourselves. We’ve failed and succeeded, and so we know what to avoid when scaling up.
- We work with investors and help them audit startups before putting money on the table.
What we cover and how we do it
Our unique methodology is based on 5 pillars, because just analyzing the code or looking at technical documentation isn’t enough:
We help our clients succeed
You won’t see companies like Amazon or Facebook among our past clients. They’re already pretty big. You will, however, see the names that will soon rock the SaaS world because we helped them predict risks and avoid failure.
