Series A technical readiness — the code audit and refactor before due diligence.
Series A due diligence includes a technical review. Investors and their technical advisors look at: code quality, security vulnerabilities, architecture decisions, test coverage, and whether the team can scale the product. Getting ahead of this review prevents deal complications.
Approaching Series A and need the technical foundation to hold up to investor due diligence
What investors' technical advisors look for in Series A due diligence:
Security:
- Are API routes authenticated appropriately?
- Is user data isolated between accounts?
- Are secrets in environment variables (not committed to git)?
- Are dependencies up to date (CVEs)?
Architecture:
- Is the data model extensible or already painted into corners?
- Are there single points of failure?
- Is the deployment process documented and repeatable?
Code quality:
- Is the codebase navigable by a new developer?
- Are there tests for critical business logic?
- Is there error monitoring (Sentry, DataDog)?
Scalability:
- Are the known bottlenecks documented?
- Is there a clear path to 10x current load?
What kills deals:
- Hardcoded secrets in git history
- SQL injection vulnerabilities
- No logging or monitoring
- Critical feature with no tests
- Undocumented architecture decisions
What we do: Audit the codebase against the due diligence checklist. Fix the blockers. Document the architecture. Deliver the report that the technical reviewer would give if it was clean.

Technical due diligence report
One honest number to start.
Fixed-scope, fixed-price. The number below is the starting point — final scope is built from your brief.

Three steps, every time.
The same repeatable engagement on every project. No surprises, no mystery, no billable ambiguity.
Brief & discovery.
We send you questions, then get on a call. Output: a written scope with every step, feature, and integration listed.
Build & ship.
Fixed schedule, weekly reviews. No scope creep unless you change the scope — and if you do, we reprice it transparently.
Warranty & retainer.
30-day warranty on every launch. Most clients stay on a monthly retainer for ongoing features and maintenance.
Why Fixed-Price Matters Here
Technical due diligence prep has a defined output: the audit report and the remediation list. Fixed-price.
Questions, answered.
8-12 weeks before expected due diligence. Fixes take time to implement and validate. Starting during due diligence is too late.
