Technical Assessment FAQs

A technical assessment evaluates a software product to determine the potential risks in the platform and opportunities for growth. Reviewing the code quality and infrastructure are the most basic components of an assessment, designed to identify technical debt and the quality of the software’s foundation.

More comprehensive assessments include overviews of development team structure and organizational leadership to estimate a software company’s growth potential. The ultimate goal of an assessment is to help decision-makers gain an overall picture of the software company and develop a roadmap that prioritizes the most critical elements for improvement.

Technical assessments provide transparency into the true state of a software product. Software companies can leverage these results to prioritize improvements, reduce risks and liabilities in the product, and build more efficient development processes.

For investment conversations, assessments are essential for investors to understand the state of a potential or existing portfolio company. With the findings in hand, PE and VC firms can decide whether or not to invest and/or create a plan to address the most pressing elements needed for growth.

KMS provides tailored assessments based on your needs.

We can perform highly detailed assessments, including line-by-line code scans to ensure nothing is missed, or high-level assessments with quick turnaround times. With a thorough understanding of the software product, KMS provides recommendations informed by our team’s extensive experience in tech and private equity.

Having built and launched our own software companies, we understand the pitfalls that hold products back and the improvements that drive significant growth.

Tech assessments are essential for PE and VC firms in M&A conversations with software companies. These assessments provide unbiased technology insights that help firms make wise investment decisions and create successful strategies for their portfolio companies.

Software companies can also benefit from assessments by fully understanding the state of their platform, how to improve, and what they need to prepare for in M&A conversations.
