Sell-Side Technology Preparation
Prepare your technology for investor scrutiny. We identify what will surface in due diligence, help you address it, and support you in telling a credible, compelling technology story.
Get Ahead of the Questions
In a sale process, technology due diligence can move fast and feel adversarial. Buyers are incentivised to find risk — and unprepared sellers often find themselves responding defensively to findings that could have been addressed or contextualised well in advance.
Proof Edge works with companies and their advisors ahead of a process to ensure the technology story is well-prepared, well-documented, and honestly compelling. We don't manufacture a story — we help you tell your real one as effectively as possible.
What Good Preparation Achieves
- ✓ Fewer surprises during buyer DD
- ✓ Faster, smoother due diligence process
- ✓ Stronger negotiating position
- ✓ Higher buyer confidence
- ✓ Reduced risk of price chip or deal abort
- ✓ Better dataroom quality
- ✓ More confident management team
How We Help
A structured programme of preparation, tailored to your timeline and the nature of your process.
Pre-Process Health Check
An honest assessment of your technology before investors come calling. We find the gaps before they do — giving you time to address them or build a credible narrative around them.
Risk Identification & Remediation
We identify the specific findings most likely to surface in buyer due diligence, prioritise them by deal impact, and work with your team to address or contextualise them ahead of the process.
Dataroom Support
We help you build and structure the technical section of your dataroom. Clear, well-organised technical documentation signals maturity and reduces friction during buyer review.
Management Presentation Coaching
We help your CTO and engineering leaders articulate your technology story clearly and confidently — anticipating buyer questions and framing the platform in its best honest light.
Vendor & Dependency Review
We review third-party dependencies, licensing exposure, and vendor concentration risk. These are common areas of buyer concern that are worth getting ahead of.
Ongoing Advisory During Process
We can remain engaged throughout the sale process as a technical resource — responding to buyer questions, supporting Q&A sessions, and tracking emerging issues.
When to Engage Us
Ideally, 6–12 months ahead of a planned process. This gives enough time to address material findings and embed improvements. But even engaging 6–8 weeks before a process can meaningfully improve your position.
If a process is already live, we can still add value: helping you respond to buyer questions, structure your dataroom, and manage the technical workstream.
