Identifying Value and Risk
Background
- B2B company, Data aggregator of public and private databases
- Mission to identify risks and pockets of technological value
Challenge
- Technical team mixed with an ESN’s team from the same owner
- New CTO replacing the current CTO that stayed with the ESN
Methodology
Classic technical analysis with specific focus on :
- Checked Git Hub (code repository) for code module significance
- Assessed the split between the team’s real involvement and the ESN’s implication with the company’s IP
Results
Identified third-party risk on key components:
- Mobile module developed as a demo was put into production without technical ownership
- Ad hoc choice of development language without in-house expertise to maintain solution
- No planned redesign of the module in the roadmap
- Company wanted to develop new competency in dev language for module maintenance
Identified pocket of value in the IP:
- High value in screen scraping (tech to read data from a screen) and connectors to public and private databases
- De facto creates a strong barrier to entry and increased company value
Conclusion
Results impacted the valuation and changed the post-investment technological plan to include module redesign in roadmap and investment in strengthening IP.
