Operator-Led Diligence & Value Creation for Private Equity
$10M–$500M ARR software acquisitions
Standard technical diligence identifies risk. An operator-led approach quantifies it and builds the plan to neutralize it. I partner with deal teams to translate findings on architecture, technical debt, and team velocity into a viable execution plan that serves the investment thesis. My work bridges the gap between pre-close assessment and post-close operational reality, delivering a 180-day value creation plan that secures EBITDA impact and long-term enterprise value.
Diligence Pillars
Platform & Thesis Alignment
Validating the core technology's capacity to scale and support the investment thesis. I analyze the architecture for growth levers and IP defensibility, ensuring the platform is a durable asset, not a future liability.
Organization & Execution Capacity
Assessing the engineering organization's ability to execute. I evaluate leadership, talent density, and development velocity to forecast the team's capacity to deliver on the value creation plan and drive the roadmap post-close.
Risk, Security & Financial Exposure
Quantifying material technology risks that impact valuation and EBITDA. I uncover critical software vulnerabilities, infrastructure dependencies, and technical debt, translating them into capex/opex impact and a clear, costed remediation plan.
