How To Perform Technical Due Diligence

Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso — your daily shot of startup funding and investing.

Investors perform diligence on a startup before investing.

Most of the diligence focuses on the financial aspects of the business.

Technical diligence is just as important.

For startups, it’s also important to focus on the technical aspects.

Here’s a list of areas to review for technical due diligence:

Architecture

Review the technical architecture for scalability and robustness.

Check the architecture for fit with the application.

Code

Review the code for quality and documentation.

Are there processes for testing and verification?

Security

Review the code for security measures.

Perform penetration exercises to check its strength.

People

Interview the technical team for their technical background and skills.

See if the skills match the project requirements.

Intellectual property

Review the intellectual property to see if the key technical features are covered.

Consider these steps in performing technical due diligence on a startup.
