The problem
You're scaling fast. Risk spreads. We find it and kill it.
Technical due diligence for investors, and scaling audits for the companies they back — architecture, security, velocity, cost, ranked by severity. We don't advise — we operate.
Who we work with
Wherever you sit, the risks are different. So are the responses.
Pick your role. See the issues that actually hit you — and the builder response to each.
Investors & Funds
4 risks · 4 responsesThe tech claims don't match reality
AI demos that don't ship, debt buried under the roadmap, one engineer who knows how it all works.
Red-flag due diligence
We read the code behind the pitch — AI claims vs. what's deployed, debt load, key-person risk — and hand you a go/no-go.
You can't tell if the moat is real
The deck claims a deep-tech edge. You can't tell if it's a genuine moat or something a competitor clones in a quarter.
Tech, competition & moat analysis
We benchmark the build against the field, stress-test how defensible it really is, and give you a straight read on where the edge holds — and where it's thin.
You're buying a scaling risk you can't see
The asset works at today's load. Nobody has modeled what breaks at 10x — or what it costs to get there.
Architecture stress test
We model the system at 10x and map where it breaks before your capital is committed.
Security exposure could tank the asset
No threat model since seed. APIs open, dependencies unaudited. One breach from the enterprise contracts walking.
Threat-surface scan
Architecture, APIs, dependencies — severity-ranked before the term sheet.
You walk away with
An investment-grade DD memo — risk matrix, a read on the moat, and a clear go/no-go.
How to engage
Three ways to put us on the problem.
From a single sharp question to a full audit of a company or a deal. Start small, scale the engagement as the stakes do.
Single session
One-Shot
90 minutesOne sharp question, one focused session. A live working call where senior builders pressure-test a decision — an architecture call, a security worry, a deal you're sizing up, a hire you're unsure about. You leave with a straight answer and the next three moves.
Best for
A specific decision you need to get right, now.
Full audit
Deep Dive
2–6 week missionA complete audit of a company or a deal — architecture, security, velocity, cost, and team. Builders read the code and attack the system, findings ranked by severity, the top fixes shipped as working code. Ends in an investment-grade memo and a clear go/no-go.
Best for
Due diligence, pre-scale hardening, or a board-level go/no-go.

The Loop
Monthly subscriptionA standing block of senior hours you draw on as things come up — reviews, decisions, fires, second opinions. Subscribe, and the team is on call. Hours roll over; you spend them when the work is real, not on a fixed schedule.
Best for
Ongoing pressure and recurring calls you'd rather not face alone.
How we work
A loop that compounds value — not a report that gathers dust.
What we plug into
What comes out
Probe
Builders read the code and attack the system — no questionnaires.
Rank
Findings scored severity × effort, against your actual roadmap.
Prove
Fixes ship as working code and get re-tested — not advised.
Transfer
Your team owns the result: docs, runbooks, and the loop itself.
Each pass around the loop retires the top risk and re-ranks the rest — value compounds week over week.
Senior engineers — and a network behind every mission.
Three founders who’ve shipped tech that works as a business — backed by a hand-picked bench of senior engineers we bring onto the work.
Loïc
LeadBuilt the leading on-chain yield products at Kiln, the institutional staking & DeFi layer. Smart-contract auditor and offensive-security engineer.
Manfred
Academy & R&DCo-founder & CTO of Scaleway — shipped the world's first ARM-powered cloud. Creator of Berty; VP of Engineering at gno.land.
Flavian
SolutionsCTO of Tresorio, a green cloud built from heat-recycling datacenters, and founder of Ingenium Calor. Deep-tech that ships.
+ a hand-picked network of senior engineers
For every mission we pull in vetted specialists from our network — senior engineers who’ve built some of the best tech companies in France — so the exact expertise your problem needs is on the team, fast.
Every week you wait, the risk compounds.
Scope call, technical brief, go/no-go in one week.
