Independent technology assessment for investors, acquirers, and boards across Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and the wider Gulf — so you invest with clarity, not assumptions.
The GCC tech ecosystem is growing fast — but so is the gap between what founders present and what their technology can actually deliver. Here's what goes wrong without independent assessment.
GCC startups move fast. That speed often leaves behind fragile codebases, hardcoded logic, and zero documentation. Investors discover the real cost 6 months after closing — when it's too late to renegotiate.
Founders say their platform handles millions of users. The infrastructure says otherwise. Without independent testing, you are trusting a pitch deck — not production metrics.
NCA, PDPL, DIFC data rules, SAMA regulations — the GCC regulatory landscape is evolving fast. A company that's non-compliant today is a liability in your portfolio tomorrow.
One senior developer who wrote 80% of the codebase and holds all tribal knowledge. If they leave, the product stalls. This is common in GCC startups — and rarely disclosed upfront.
Cloud spend growing faster than revenue is a structural problem, not a scaling feature. Without an infrastructure audit, you won't see it until the burn rate becomes unsustainable.
Code built by agencies, freelancers, or offshore teams may not be cleanly owned. GPL or copyleft dependencies buried in the stack can create legal exposure after acquisition.
A structured, evidence-based assessment of every layer of a company's technology — designed for GCC investors, acquirers, and boards who need the full picture before committing capital.
A deep review of code structure, patterns, documentation, and maintainability. We assess whether the architecture can support the growth story the company is selling.
Full audit of cloud infrastructure, cost allocation, and operational maturity. We identify where spend is wasteful, where resilience is missing, and what scaling will really cost.
Assessment of security controls, vulnerability exposure, and regulatory compliance. We evaluate readiness against NCA, PDPL, DIFC, and SAMA standards relevant to the target's market.
Evaluation of engineering team capability, key-person risk, development processes, and intellectual property ownership. The goal: understand whether the team can execute the roadmap.
A structured, confidential process designed to respect deal timelines and deliver actionable intelligence — not a drawn-out audit.
We review the target profile, agree on scope and deliverables, and sign a mutual NDA. You share access to repositories, infrastructure, and key personnel.
Codebase review, infrastructure audit, security assessment, and team interviews. We work from evidence — not self-reported answers. All access is logged and time-bounded.
Findings are synthesised into a structured risk matrix covering code, infrastructure, security, compliance, team, and IP. Each risk is scored by severity, likelihood, and remediation cost.
You receive a board-ready report with executive summary, detailed findings, risk map, and a prioritised remediation plan with cost estimates. We present findings live and answer every question.
Whether you're writing a cheque, acquiring a business, or sitting on the board — you deserve a clear, unbiased picture of what a company's technology can really do.
You're writing cheques into Dubai, Riyadh, or wider GCC startups. You need independent technical validation before term sheets — not after the founders have spent your capital.
You're acquiring a technology company or digital product. You need to know what the tech is actually worth — the clean code, the hidden debt, the real infrastructure cost, and the team risk.
PIF-backed ventures, Mubadala, ADQ, and government tech initiatives require the highest standard of technical due diligence — including NCA and data sovereignty compliance assessment.
You sit on the board and need an independent technology health check. You want to know if the CTO's roadmap is credible, if the infrastructure is sound, and if compliance gaps exist.
Confidentiality guaranteed. All assessments are conducted under NDA with strict information barriers. We never share findings with third parties or use proprietary data beyond the scope of the engagement.
Every assessment delivers a concrete set of outputs — not vague commentary
