Built for Lower Middle Market PE

We specialize in diligence for $5M-$50m EBITDA businesses where execution risk directly impacts returns

Why Traditional TDD Falls Short

Most TTDs identify risks, but rarely translates them into execution clarity. 

  • Findings sit in a PDF and never get executed
  • Risk-focused, not value-focused
  • No connection to post-close staffing or delivery / technical roadmaps. Findings don't make it to operating team
  • Surprises surface after close — not before
Technical risk doesn’t end at close. Neither should diligence.
Find it -> Fix it -> Scale it

The MatchPoint Way

MatchPoint Technical Due Diligence

A full-stack evaluation of the technology, team, and execution risk behind the investment—translated directly into cost, timing, and value creation impact

Why MatchPoint is Different

MatchPoint provides consulting throughout the lifecycle of the portfolio company, providing actionable insights and execution support.
  • Led by former CTOs, founders, and operators
  • Built for PE timelines and IC decisioning
  • Designed to carry findings straight into execution
  • Backed by a team that can actually fix what we find

Most diligence identifies problems

We identify what matters, what it costs, how fast it can be fixed, and we execute. 

MatchPoint TDD Offerings

MatchPoint helps private equity firms identify real technical risk, quantify execution cost, and build the teams required to deliver the investment thesis

What We Evaluate

We evaluate what really matters:

The technical constraints, risks, and leverage points that drive value post-close

Platform & Architecture

We evaluate whether the underlying architecture can scale cost-effectively with the growth, integrations, and reliability the investment thesis requires

Code & Technical Debt

We assess code quality, technical debt, and engineering velocity to determine how much hidden effort, time, and capital are required to execute the roadmap.

Security, Compliance & Risk

We identify security gaps, compliance exposure, and operational risks that could impact valuation, customer trust, or exit readiness.

 

Team & Operating Model

We analyze the engineering organization, leadership, and delivery model to identify execution risk, key-person dependencies, and hiring requirements.

AI & Modernization Readiness

We determine whether the data, tooling, and platform maturity can realistically support AI initiatives and modernization without disrupting core operations.

Technical Audit (Portfolio Companies)

Reset underperforming assets and get back to the exit path.

Many portfolio companies never received a modern TDD—or have drifted far from the original thesis. Our Technical Audit diagnoses what’s broken and builds a path forward.

Includes:

  • Bottleneck identification
  • Margin and efficiency opportunities
  • 90-day operational roadmap
  • Platform modernization plan
  • Hiring and sequencing strategy

Outcome: A realistic plan to restore momentum and prepare for exit.
