When you sell your company, a buyer will check your technology. This check is called technical due diligence. I have seen many deals fail because of hidden tech problems. In my work, I help companies fix these problems before they sell. This tag collects my best advice on this topic.
Technical due diligence is like a health check for your software. The buyer wants to know if your code is clean. They want to know if your system is safe. They also want to know if your tech can grow. If your tech has big problems, the buyer may pay less. Or they may walk away from the deal.
I learned this the hard way. A few years ago, I helped a HealthTech company prepare for sale. Their code had old parts that slowed everything down. The buyer found these problems. The company lost millions in value. After that, I started helping other companies avoid the same mistake.
The articles here show you what buyers look for. You will learn about common problems like security holes and tech debt. Tech debt is when you take shortcuts in your code. It works now, but it causes problems later. Buyers hate tech debt because it costs money to fix.
You will also learn how to increase your company's value. I share real examples from my projects. For example, one property tech company had a slow database. We fixed it before the sale. The buyer paid a higher price because the system was fast and reliable.
Another article talks about security blind spots. Defense contractors have strict rules. If your software has security problems, you could lose the deal. I show you how to find and fix these issues.
If you are an investor, this tag is for you too. You need to know what to check before you buy a company. I give you a simple checklist to use. This helps you avoid bad investments.
My goal is simple. I want you to get the best price for your company. Or I want you to make smart investment choices. The articles here give you the tools to do that.
Start with the article about hidden tech debt. It is a good first step. Then read about security problems. After that, you will have a clear picture of what to do.
