Why tech risk is still hard to see
Everything looks green on the outside
Reporting and narratives can suggest control and maturity, while deeper risks remain hidden beneath the surface.
Tech due diligence is slow and subjective
Outcomes often depend on who you hire, not what's actually true in the business.
No clear standard for "tech health"
Financials are structured and comparable. Technology usually isn't, making risk hard to judge with confidence.
StackUp provides an independent view of technology risk without slowing the deal.

No workshops or weeks of advisor coordination. The assessment is completed directly by the technology leader using structured questions designed to surface real risk quickly.
Time required
Under 30 minutes to complete.
Understand
Translate results into a clear, defensible view of technology risk, strengths, and priorities.
See how the business compares to real-world benchmarks in language investors and boards can act on immediately.
Can I share this with others?
Yes. Results can be securely shared with partners, advisors, and board members to support confident investment decisions.
Decide
Use the same independent baseline to support investment decisions, board discussions, and ongoing oversight.
When technology is strong, you gain a clear signal of quality. When risk exists, you see it early enough to act with confidence.
What if the score is low?
You still receive a defensible view of risk which might impact deal value.
