Technical & Science Due Diligence
Invest in innovation
with confidence.
Independent Technical & Scientific Due Diligence for DeepTech, Life Sciences, DefenceTech and other technology-driven startups.
Why it matters
Great technology deserves proper evaluation.
Innovative startups often make ambitious claims about their technologies. For investors without specialised technical expertise, validating these claims can be challenging.
Baltic Sandbox bridges the gap between technological complexity and investment decisions. We translate scientific and engineering findings into clear, actionable insights.
What we evaluate
Six lenses on every technology.
Technical Feasibility
Can the technology deliver what the startup claims? How mature and validated is it?
Scientific Validity
Are the scientific principles, research results and supporting evidence credible?
IP & Defensibility
What intellectual property exists, who owns it, and what protection or freedom-to-operate risks require attention?
Technology Risks
What technical barriers, dependencies or scalability challenges could affect success?
Scalability & Readiness
How ready is the technology for further development, manufacturing, deployment or commercial use?
Team Capabilities
Does the technical team have the expertise and resources needed to execute its roadmap?
Who it's for
Built for those who back technology.
Business Angels & Angel Networks
Access independent technical expertise without building an in-house team. Evaluate promising DeepTech investments and identify critical risks before committing capital.
VC Funds & Investment Firms
Strengthen investment committee decisions with expert validation of technical claims, IP risks, technology maturity and development feasibility.
Corporates & Innovation Teams
Assess technologies for strategic investments, partnerships, acquisitions, pilot projects or technology adoption.
Our assessment services
Two levels of depth. One standard of rigour.
Essential
Focused Technical Screening
A concise expert assessment of a startup's key technical claims, technology maturity, feasibility and potential red flags.
In-depth
Comprehensive Technical & Scientific Due Diligence
An in-depth evaluation covering technology feasibility, scientific validity, IP considerations, scalability, technical team capabilities and key risks, with practical recommendations.
Tailored scope & pricing
Pricing available upon request, based on technology complexity and assessment scope.
How it works
A two-stage process.
Identify promising opportunities early and focus resources on technologies worth exploring further.
Initial Assessment & Screening
A preliminary evaluation designed to filter startups and identify potential red flags before committing to a full technical assessment. We review the startup's technology, maturity, key technical claims, available evidence and potential risks.
Outcome: A concise assessment with key findings and a recommendation on whether to proceed with in-depth due diligence.
In-Depth Technical & Scientific Due Diligence
A comprehensive evaluation conducted by one or several independent experts, selected according to the technology's complexity. Experts review scientific validity, technical feasibility, IP, scalability, roadmap and key risks — through documentation reviews, founder interviews and examination of research and prototypes.
Outcome: A detailed expert report highlighting strengths, weaknesses, technical risks and recommendations to support informed investment decisions.
