Fractional Head of Product
Preparing for due diligence with fractional leadership
Due diligence terrifies founders because it exposes everything — the ad-hoc processes, the undocumented decisions, the things that work because one person holds them in their head. Preparing for due diligence isn't about creating a veneer; it's about actually 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 not because it prepared a good deck, but because it actually has the operational maturity investors are looking for. Clean processes, documented decisions, defensible metrics, and a team that can answer questions without looking at the founder for help.
