  • Why proper documentation right from the beginning is key
  • What licenses really mean and how you may need to upgrade your software dependencies and packages 
  • The rubric for what a buyer is looking for: code, testing infrastructure, source and product management, how team works, service set up
  • The key licensing questions you need to be clear about with your company
  • Why folks that work with brokers tend to leave it up to the buyer to be diligent rather than be proactive in being diligent
  • The role attorneys and fractional CTO’s have in technical diligence and who else you need to talk to in your business to get started
  • Why centralizing access control and single passwords are essential
  • Understanding legacy code and why you need to be prepared to go places that haven’t been touched in a while
  • The most common things that business owners get wrong with the transition 
  • Why agencies often aren’t necessary and how to avoid a walking dead portfolio company
  • At what point in the M&A it makes sense to bring on someone to help with technical due diligence
