When Do You Need a Technical Audit?
Before Fundraising (Pre-seed to Series B)
Investors will conduct technical due diligence. Finding issues early prevents deal delays or rejection.
During CTO or Tech Lead Transition
New technical leadership needs comprehensive understanding of current state.
Before Scaling Your Product
Current architecture may not support 10x user growth without major refactoring.
Production Issues and Technical Debt
Frequent bugs, slow performance, or increasing outages signal underlying problems.
