Fractional Head of Product
Preparing for due diligence with fractional leadership
Due diligence worries founders because it exposes everything: the ad hoc processes, the undocumented decisions, the things that only work because one person holds them in their head. Good preparation means fixing the operational gaps that due diligence would find.
What we do as Head of Product
- 01
Audit product and delivery operations against what investors and acquirers typically examine
- 02
Document the undocumented: product strategy, technical architecture decisions, delivery processes
- 03
Build the metrics and reporting frameworks that demonstrate operational maturity
- 04
Address the operational risks that would raise red flags during a due diligence process
The outcome
A company that passes due diligence because it has the operational maturity investors look for: clean processes, documented decisions, defensible metrics, and a team that can answer questions without looking to the founder for help.
