TECH ADVISORY

We support tech companies with a broad range of different tech advisory options. The kind of engagement is guided by the needs of your company, and if you are an investor requesting us on behalf of a venture, the needs of your portfolio company. Whether we support you in carving out your product and tech strategy, help you in the context of a technical PMI, or provide mentoring and sparring — our tech advisory is always driven by our zero bullshit directive with the goal of delivering as much impact as possible for your tech organization and your business.

ZERO BULLSHIT TECH ADVISORY THAT HELPS YOU THRIVE

Hands-on and Results-Driven

Tech advisory is less about assessment and more about implementation. We work with you on concrete issues and challenges within your tech organization and help you fix them.

Implementing Recommendations

We have worked with you during a Tech Due Diligence or Health Check in the past? This is the best basis for following up with concrete tech advisory: We already know you, your team and your organization and can seamlessly start working with you on implementing the recommendations from our report.

Technical Post-Merger Integration

Whether you have acquired, been acquired, or merged with another tech company — the integration of two (or more) tech organizations is an extremely challenging undertaking. We can help you master the technical Post-Merger integration, whether it is in the context of one startup buying another, a corporate M&A, or a Private Equity buy-and-build scenario.

Sparring and Mentoring

Having been there, done that in many ways, we are able to help you grow in your role as a first-time founder or CTO and overcome typical growth pains — in your dedicated leadership role as well as in your tech organization as a whole

Interim CTO and Staffing

Getting the right people at the right time is extremely difficult. Through our assessments, we are able to identify your exact hiring needs and either place an Interim CTO from our team or expert pool within your organization or help you find the right leaders through our partner network.

Board Advisory

The translation of business strategy into tech is our core expertise — whether in a Tech DD or Health Check context or during an advisory engagement. Through (interim) Board Advisory, we can help you make the right strategic decisions when it comes to your product and your tech stack.

Get Product Sheet

We meet most of the tech companies we work with through a Tech Due Diligence in a VC or PE funding context. After we deliver the report, which contains a set of recommendations, we often get asked if we can help implement these recommendations. The good news: Yes, we are able to support you in the context of a tech advisory engagement. A tech assessment, whether it is a Tech Due Diligence or a Health Check, is usually a prerequisite for a truly value-adding and impactful tech advisory project, but the exact scope and form of engagement as well as the deliverables will be determined by your needs.

TECH ADVISORY THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Advisory by Real Tech Experts

We are not business analysts who have learned some technical buzzwords on the side. We are tech experts through and through, with a strong Startup DNA and a track record in Engineering and Tech Leadership.

Context-Focused

The true value we bring to the table lies in the translation from business strategy into tech and vice versa. We always contextualize our findings, connect the dots and keep the big picture in mind — no matter how deep we drill into the details.

Feasible Impact

When we work with Tech Companies, we make a difference. Whether it is on the strategic level, processes and integration, or mentoring, you will get honest and thorough advice and results that will move your tech organization forward and drive your success.
