Offer 04 · Tech & Data Due Diligence
Technology and data due diligence for investment funds
Assess the technology risks of a target and accelerate post-acquisition value creation, across Europe, Africa and the MEA region.
What technology due diligence must reveal
The value of a tech or digital-first company rests on assets that financial audits do not see: the quality of the architecture, technical debt, the organization's ability to scale, the real value of its data and AI models, and regulatory compliance. A tech due diligence answers three questions:
- Can the technology support the business plan?
- Which hidden risks and investments must be priced into the valuation?
- Which levers should be activated in the first 100 days?
What we do
1. Pre-deal due diligence
IS and software architecture audit, scalability and performance, technical debt, security, tech team organization and skills, vendor dependencies, Data and AI assets (quality, ownership, usability) and compliance (GDPR, EU AI Act, local data protection laws).
2. Post-investment acceleration
100-day value creation plan, founder and CTO coaching, tech governance set-up, post-merger integration (PMI) support and follow-up of priority workstreams.
Our edge: the MEA region
Funds investing in tech in Africa and the Middle East face specific realities: infrastructure, data sovereignty, skills availability, integration with local payment and identity players. Our operational experience of pan-African programs allows us to assess these risks realistically. Read: The POC syndrome: why 80% of AI projects fail.
