Technical Due Diligence for Education & EdTech

An independent read on technology, security, and team risk before you commit the capital.

Why it matters in education & edtech

In EdTech the product is the business, but you're also handling children's data and selling into risk-averse buyers. You have to ship great learning software and be trusted with it: CTO and CISO in one.

  • Turning pedagogy and content into a product that scales, architecture, data model and roadmap
  • Shipping AI-powered learning features (tutoring, marking, personalisation) that are genuinely useful
  • Passing the security and data-protection due diligence schools and trusts run, and protecting children's data
  • Integrating cleanly (SSO, MIS/SIS, LTI/OneRoster) and staying reliable through term-start spikes

What you get

  • Architecture, scalability, and technical-debt assessment
  • Security, privacy, and compliance risk review
  • Engineering team, process, and delivery-capability evaluation
  • AI and data review, IP, model risk, and data rights
  • A clear report with red flags, costs, and a post-deal remediation plan

How we work in education & edtech

We've been the CTO building and scaling an EdTech product first-hand, and we own the security side too, so we help with the architecture, AI and integrations and the trust, privacy and controls that unlock school and trust deals.
