About BitFlow
While Technical Due Diligence is widespread in the United States, it is a relatively new aspect of a company valuation in Europe. Talking to private equity and venture capital investors, it became more and more obvious that there is high demand for Tech Due Diligence providers specialized on software companies. Current providers usually do not fulfill investor’s expectations in terms of depth and breadth of the assessment, and therefore common Tech Due Diligences do not contribute to long-term success. Convinced that BitFlow is able to deliver high-quality Tech Due Diligence, we engaged with private equity and venture capital investors in order to learn more about their specific needs.
After about 50 interviews, BitFlow developed a buy-side Tech Due Diligence framework for software companies specifically tailored to private equity and venture capital investors’ needs. BitFlow’s growing team has successfully applied their framework to de-risk tech investments ranging from small software projects to huge ERP providers and financial service software. Our framework is continuously improving to help investors make even better investment decisions. It also provides the basis for our sell-side Due Diligence services. Here, we support software companies on preparing for the investor’s Tech Due Diligence.

Florian Weigand
Florian was already involved in projects with Siemens, Bosch and Munich Airport while he was still in his studies. After he graduated with a master’s degree in Computer Science from TU Munich, he joined Foodora as Lead Developer.
