Technical Due Diligence for Investors
Angel investors and venture capitalists invest in high potential technology startups. They try to maximize
return on investment by carefully selecting companies and by closely managing the inherent risk.
Investors hire me for technical due diligence. My due diligence investigations cover technology, product, market, usability, team, organization and process. Having seen many startups from the inside, I reliably discover red flags but at the same time strive to provide growth advice to healthy startups.
Technical Due Diligence Projects
Big Bang Ventures
Big Bang Ventures is a leader in seed and early-stage venture capital funding. Big Bang has recently made several investments and now has over € 40 million under management. In addition to funding, Big Bang Ventures helps startups accelerate their growth.
I did technical due diligence for Big Bang’s investment in Wakoopa. The funding of Wakoopa, described as “the last.fm of software”, drew much publicity from among others TechCrunch and Amsterdam-based TheNextWeb blog.
Big Bang asked me to perform technical due diligence on another significant investment, London-based Travel Intelligence, an online travel booking and review site focused on boutique and luxury hotels.
