Case studies
Deals we've shaped — pre, during and after the ink dries.
A selection of engagements across PE, VC and corporate M&A. Names anonymised; the decisions, mechanics and outcomes are real.
01 · Engineering Services
Reframing tech as a growth engine in an Engineering Services firm
Tech DD revealed a stable, low-cost estate masking a deeper problem: leadership saw technology as a cost centre. We reframed it as the engine of the investment thesis.
02 · HR / Human Capital SaaS
Investment readiness for an HR SaaS firm raising £9m
A decade-old, profitable SaaS firm had never been formally diligenced. Tech DD became the most valuable workstream of the raise — surfacing the gaps that would otherwise have killed valuation.
03 · Web3 / Immersive Events
Tech DD for a VC investing in a Web3 immersive events platform
A VC needed a clear read on a target pivoting from 3D modelling into Web3 events. We assessed team, defensibility and the engineering reality of building immersive worlds at scale.
04 · BPO + FinTech
Splitting and integrating a 200-person FinTech into a BPO acquirer
A 200-person FinTech was being split — half merged into the BPO, half spun out in London. We led the technology integration, navigated the people side, and protected Day One.
05 · IoT / Hardware-Software
Kolbe-led team dynamics for a remote-first IoT scale-up
A remote-first IoT scale-up needed to keep its engineers engaged through the unglamorous build-to-BAU transition — and prepare its culture for the next wave of hires.
06 · Health
Tech DD for a corporate Health bolt-on in APAC
A global Health corporation evaluating an Australian bolt-on. Our job: validate cultural and technical fit, and gauge what the target would need to become safe enough to plug into the group.
