Engagements
Two sides of the same table.
Whether you are defending a valuation or testing one, the diligence work is the same discipline applied from opposite directions.
For Sellers & Founders (Pre-Sale Exit Readiness)
Identify codebase risks, open-source GPL taints, and cloud debt 6 months before listing. Prevent buyer price-chipping and defend your exit valuation.
- Pre-Sale Technical VDD Audit
- VDR Technology Package Assembly
- Key-Person Dependency Mapping
- Buyer Q&A Defense
Methodology
The 4-Pillar Diligence Framework.
Every engagement is scored against the same four pillars, so findings are comparable across targets and defensible in negotiation.
Architecture & Cloud Scalability
AWS/Azure/GCP topology, single points of failure, and hard limits on 10x capacity growth.
Codebase & IP Integrity
Repository health, technical debt, open-source GPL compliance, and proprietary code ownership.
Security & Regulatory Posture
IAM access controls, encryption practices, and a SOC 2 / HIPAA readiness snapshot.
Team & Operational Maturity
Key-person dependencies, CI/CD deployment pipelines, and vendor cost overhead.

Vessent is a specialist technical diligence practice. Our principals bring two decades of enterprise architecture and cloud modernization work across multi-cloud infrastructure, large-scale enterprise applications, and AI governance, alongside startup advisory work mentoring founders through a top-tier university accelerator program.
Having sat on the buy-side of these evaluations, our work is translation: turning technical reality into the specific evidence investors, acquirers, and enterprise buyers actually need to see before they move on price.
Every engagement is staffed with senior practitioners only. No offshore review teams, no junior analysts, no template reports. The people on the diligence call are the people writing the findings.
