Our Expertise

Turning Technology Into Value Creation

In today’s deal environment, technology is both an enabler and a risk multiplier. Through due diligence, modernization, and operational acceleration, we help investors and portfolio company leadership teams transform technology from a cost center into a driver of growth, efficiency, and margin expansion.

Assess

See The Whole Picture Before You Invest

As Private Equity continues to be a favored path for reinvention and synergistic opportunity, leaders at PE Firms and their Portfolio companies need to demonstrate measurable transformation and improving margins to have a successful exit. Often times the technology, operational deficiencies and technical debt and are not fully understood until after a transaction closes.

UTurn supports Private Equity deal teams with pre-investment technical due diligence that reveals the true state of an acquisition target’s technology. We assess architecture, scalability, security, and development practices to identify risks, hidden costs, and growth potential. Our insights help inform valuation, shape 100-day plans, and give investors the confidence to move quickly on the right opportunities—armed with data, not assumptions.

Transform

Eliminate Technical Debt. Accelerate Value Creation.

After the deal closes, UTurn partners with portfolio company leadership to modernize core systems, reduce technical debt, and unlock innovation. By applying cloud-native architectures, DevOps automation, and AI-driven optimization, we help teams improve efficiency, scalability, and profitability. The result: stronger margins, faster growth, and a shorter path to exit with a higher multiple.

Fast-Track Technical Assessment for Informed Decision Making 

Foundational Due Diligence

Our foundational technical due diligence provides a fast, structured read on an acquisition target’s technical realities. In one week, we deliver a concise assessment of the product infrastructure, architecture, security, and development operations.

Through a 90-minute product demo and clarifying meeting, we evaluate the DevOps maturity, R&D team capabilities, and overall technical readiness. You'll receive detailed deliverables including demo recordings, meeting notes, DevOps capability assessment, and a complete technical due diligence writeup with initial reads on the architecture quality and team effectiveness.

The result is clear, actionable insight you can use to validate assumptions and move your deal forward with confidence.

Deep-Dive Technical Analysis for Critical Investment Decisions

Comprehensive Due Diligence

Our Comprehensive Technical Due Diligence builds on the initial L0 assessment to provide a more in-depth evaluation of the target company’s operations, product features, delivery processes, and software development lifecycle. Tailored tiers, based on the anticipated deal size and complexity, include architecture capability assessments, security scans, code scan assessments, stakeholder interviews and infrastructure inventory reviews. Optional assessments are available for data governance, data analytics, people and talent evaluation, and GenAI readiness.

You receive a detailed assessment of strengths, risks, and modernization requirements—plus a prioritized roadmap that highlights where post-close value can be created fastest.

This is the analysis you need to validate risk, quantify lift, and inform your investment thesis.

How We Work With You

Nimble, Metrics Driven, AI-Powered Decision Making

UTurn combines technical precision with the agility Private Equity demands. With over a decade of experience guiding legacy businesses through cloud transformation, we’ve developed an approach that blends AI-powered analysis, proven modernization frameworks, and deep AWS partnership. The result is data-backed insight and disciplined execution that give boards, executives, and deal teams confidence from diligence to exit.

At UTurn, we recognize that technical due diligence is a value creation lever, not just a risk mitigation exercise. Our team works as an extension of your deal team, providing technical insights that inform investment decisions, shape your 100-day plans, and identify opportunities to enhance EBITDA through infrastructure optimization. We've partnered with PE firms across the deal lifecycle—from initial screening through exit—delivering objective assessments that protect your downside while illuminating paths to accelerated value creation.

Our engagement model is purpose-built for the velocity and rigor of private equity deal flow. We align with your investment thesis and key concerns, whether evaluating scalability for growth capital deployment, assessing technical debt that could impact valuation, or identifying integration risks in platform builds. Our deliverables directly support your IC materials and provide the technical clarity your LPs expect, translating findings into actionable value creation and risk-adjusted returns.

We've structured our service tiers to match deal complexity and timeline constraints. Our foundational L0 assessment delivers rapid insights within one week—ideal for competitive processes where speed matters. For larger platform investments, our comprehensive L1 and L2 engagements provide deep technical, security, and architectural analysis that informs post-close integration and capex planning. This approach allows you to deploy diligence capital efficiently while maintaining institutional-grade oversight.

Throughout each engagement, we deliver investment-grade documentation that stands up to LP scrutiny and supports your investment committee process. Our approach includes product demonstrations, technical deep-dives with management teams, and comprehensive reports with clear risk ratings and remediation cost estimates. All deliverables flow into your data room with executive summaries designed for non-technical stakeholders, ensuring your entire deal team can leverage our findings effectively.

Our relationship doesn’t end when the deal closes. We transition from diligence partner to value creation partner, executing the remediation and modernization initiatives identified during assessment. Whether consolidating infrastructure across a platform, preparing a portfolio company for exit, or accelerating growth through cloud migration, we bring AWS expertise that drives measurable improvements in gross margins, customer acquisition costs, and enterprise value. We help transform technical findings into realized returns.
