The technical M&A due diligence platform that prices technology risk before close.
NexusDiligence is a technical M&A due diligence platform for PE funds, VCs, strategics, and IC committees. It reconciles what the target says against what their infrastructure shows, so you price technology risk before you sign, not after.
Technical diligence is the last analog process in modern M&A.
Deal teams still rely on PDF questionnaires, weeks-long consultant engagements, and a founder's word that "everything is in good shape." Meanwhile, the asset's real risk lives in cloud configs, IAM policies, git history, CI/CD pipelines, and runbooks, none of which appear in the data room.
The result: investors underwrite a narrative, then discover the operational reality after wire transfer.
- 53%of tech-enabled acquisitions surface material technical issues only in the first 90 days post-close.
- 4 to 7xthe cost differential between a finding remediated pre-close (priced into the deal) versus discovered after.
- 72his all NexusDiligence needs from credential issuance to investor-ready scorecard, read-only, then auto-expired.
One workspace that turns scattered technical evidence into a defensible IC narrative.
A 100-point investor-grade scorecard, severity-weighted reconciliation, and a quantified remediation ledger, all derived from the same evidence set, all updating live as new artifacts arrive.
Executive Scorecard
Single 100-point view across security, infra, code, and IT ops, fixed pillar weights, transparent math.
Document Ingestion Hub
Stage-aware required-doc checklist. Stale or unverified artifacts are flagged automatically.
Reconciliation Matrix
Side-by-side: policy claim vs. detected reality, severity-weighted.
Code-base Verification
Automated audit against best practices: comments, commit hygiene, CI/CD, deploy runbooks, branch protection.
Remediation Ledger
Cost-to-cure tasks with budget approval workflow.
Read-only by design
All collection runs under Describe/List/Get scopes; credentials self-terminate 72h after report.
A technical due diligence writeup the IC can actually use.
Every engagement produces an investor-grade technical due diligence writeup that translates engineering detail into deal terms. It is structured for the investment committee, not just the CTO, and every conclusion is tied to an artifact from the target environment.
1. Executive summary and IC recommendation
A one-page view of overall technical health, material risks, and a clear Pass / Pass with conditions / No-go recommendation backed by the 100-point scorecard.
2. Pillar-by-pillar assessment
Security, infrastructure, code quality, and IT operations are scored independently with fixed weights. Each pillar explains what was tested, what passed, and what creates downside.
3. Reconciliation matrix
Target claims from the questionnaire and management presentations are mapped to live evidence. Where claim and reality diverge, the writeup flags severity and quantifies the cost-to-cure.
4. Remediation ledger and timeline
A ranked list of required fixes with estimated cost, timeline, and owner. The ledger feeds directly into 100-day planning and can be tracked post-close.
What it costs to evaluate an investment without reconciling technical truth.
Hidden cost-to-cure absorbed post-close
Undocumented tech debt, unsupported infrastructure, and missing CI/CD turn into 7- and 8-figure remediation bills the LP did not underwrite.
Founder narrative ≠ operational reality
Questionnaire answers describe intent; live infrastructure shows posture. Without reconciliation, you price the pitch deck, not the asset.
Compliance time-bombs (SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA)
Lapsed controls and stale policies survive change-of-control. The acquirer inherits the breach, the fines, and the customer churn.
Multiple compression at exit
Buy-side diligence at exit will surface what your buy-side diligence missed, at a discount you can't recover in your hold period.
