9-14: Engineering M&A
Leading technical due diligence on acquisitions, merging codebases, and migrating acquired talent.
🎯 What You'll Learn
- ✓ Audit target architectures safely
- ✓ Model technical debt in acquisitions
- ✓ Integrate disparate cultures
The M&A Debt Discovery
When acquiring a competitor, the financial team audits the books, but the CTO must audit the architecture. If the acquired company reached profitability by racking up catastrophic technical debt, the acquisition price is fundamentally flawed. You are buying a bomb.
Technical Due Diligence must uncover the "Remediation Cost." If the target company has no automated testing, hardcoded security keys, and a monolithic database, you must subtract the millions it will cost to integrate them into your stack from the final acquisition offer price.
Never agree to run the acquired code natively indefinitely. You must price in a 12-to-24 month deprecation and migration into your master SaaS platform.
Implement a Technical Due Diligence checklist for your corp-dev team.
