Due Diligence
There comes a time when investors step into a company or when a takeover bid arrives. After the basic agreements are laid down in the Term Sheet, Due Diligence begins. During Due Diligence, the entrepreneur receives an extensive list of questions in all relevant areas (Structure, Commercial, Budget, Roadmap, IP, Technology, Legal, Finance, etc). Now it’s the company’s task to fill the Data Room, and then it’s the investors’ or acquisition party’s task to assess it.
Data Room
A Data Room is simply a fancy term for a collection of files for Due Diligence. You’ll find Data Rooms in various forms. In its simplest form, it’s a folder structure on Google Drive. But some parties prefer to use an online Data Room service. Practically, it makes little difference. Files are collected and transferred, reviewed, and questions are asked.
For investors, family offices, and acquisition parties
Technical Due Diligence
A Due Diligence for a company with a large digital component is not something you can leave to lawyers alone. All technical aspects of the company must also be reviewed and assessed. Preferably by people with a deep and broad background in technology, who can assess not only quality but also scalability, security, and strategy.
