Technical Due Diligence Consultant — Investor Advisory for AI & SaaS

Technical due diligence tells an investor what a startup's technology is actually worth: architecture quality, scalability, AI defensibility, and the infrastructure costs hiding under the pitch deck. I've spent 3+ years providing independent technology due diligence and expert consulting for investment and business decisions, covering AI products, voice AI economics, cloud infrastructure and SaaS. I'm also a practitioner who builds and operates these systems, so my assessments come from production experience, not analyst reports.

What does a technical due diligence consultant assess?

Architecture and scalability, reality-checked: will it survive 100x users? AI defensibility: is the 'proprietary AI' a real moat or a thin API wrapper? Unit economics of AI products: inference, voice minutes and cloud spend per user, the numbers founders tend to hand-wave. Engineering org quality: velocity signals, key-person risk, and whether the hiring plan is sane. And post-investment value creation: the same cost-reduction playbook I've run in production, cutting a $200K/year bill by more than 70%, applied to portfolio companies.

How do investors engage a technical due diligence consultant?

One-hour expert calls, the format I've delivered for institutional investors for 3+ years. Written diligence reports on a target's stack in 5 to 7 days. Portfolio advisory retainers with on-call technical judgment across your investments. And sector deep-dives on voice AI pricing, AI hiring tech and cloud cost dynamics.

FAQ

Common questions.

Straight answers. If yours isn't here, ask on a 20-minute call.

What does technical due diligence cover?+

Architecture, scalability, security posture, AI and data moats, infrastructure cost trajectory, engineering team quality and key-person risk, delivered as a clear verdict with dollar-quantified risks, not a hedge-everything report.

Why use a practitioner instead of a consulting firm?+

Firms send analysts who've read about the systems; I build and run them. When I assess a voice AI startup's claimed unit economics, I compare against my own production numbers, 2.5¢/minute, not a market report.

How much experience do you have as a technical due diligence consultant?+

More than 3 years providing independent technology due diligence and expert consulting for institutional investors and operators, focused on AI products, voice AI, cloud infrastructure and hiring tech. Engaging directly skips the expert-network markup and gets you a practitioner who builds these systems, not an analyst who reads about them.
