The challenge
A seed-stage portfolio company had lost its CTO and tech team, and the investor was minded to shut it down. He needed an honest, plain-English view of whether the technology was worth backing, and someone to make it happen if it was.
Our approach
- Gave an independent technical view that persuaded him to back the business
- Became the family office's technology adviser across five businesses
- Ran early due diligence on the less technology-reliant businesses
- Provided an interim CTO, head of development and developers, up to eight people
- Recruited five permanent developers
The results
- One business rescued and grown
- One wound up early, unable to prove its core technology claim
- No material issues found at two others
I was ready to write that business off. Aldemis gave me a straight answer on the technology, and backing it turned out to be the right call.
