M&A for private equity and venture capital

Acquiring or merging technology-led companies or companies with advanced tech infrastructure, buyers want to have an unbiased overview of what they are buying and how much it will cost them to operate, scale, or combine the business post-merger or acquisition. Technology due diligence is a critical part of the M&A due diligence process which includes the analysis of the technology products, architecture, team, and crucial development processes of an organization.

Valuing the investment and having an educated view of what it will take to transform the business before merging it with another or scaling it in the future is a key element of any M&A process. The Sphere team can help you navigate through the tech due diligence process smoothly.
