Why it matters
Deals fall apart on bad tech. Or worse — close, and implode later. In M&A, venture funding, or partnership scenarios, tech risk is business risk. You’re not just buying code. You’re buying scalability, maintainability, hidden debts, and people.
When it’s time to act
You’re in the zone if:
- A merger or acquisition is on the table.
- A startup wants funding, but investors need clarity.
- You’re about to white-label, franchise, or OEM a solution.
- A partner claims they’re “AI-powered” and you’re skeptical.
What we do differently
We go beyond code reviews. ECIX runs full-spectrum tech audits:
- Infrastructure, scalability, and deployment pipeline checks
- Security posture and data handling practices
- Dev team productivity vs. claims
- Tech stack risks and upgrade path
- License issues, IP ownership, and vendor lock-in red flags
We deliver a real report. Not 60 pages of fluff, but a red/yellow/green matrix with comments founders, lawyers, and investors can all understand.
Case: The invisible debt
A VC wanted to invest in a B2B platform. Founders claimed “AI architecture” with 90% automation.
We found:
- Half the system was manually operated behind dashboards
- Core pipeline had no test coverage
- Data models were stale and unverifiable
They paused investment. And asked us to help the startup clean up and earn the next round.
Case: ECIX execution
A German company wanted to acquire a Baltic SaaS tool. We audited:
- CI/CD workflows (broken)
- GDPR compliance (missing DPIAs)
- Backend design (tight coupling everywhere)
With our report, the buyer renegotiated — and saved 400K.
Bottom line
Due diligence is more than checklists. It’s about exposure. ECIX makes sure you know what you’re stepping into. Before it steps on you.
Don’t buy a black box. We open it. We stress-test it. Then you decide.
