The questions that matter

What TechScore helps you answer

Investors ask

  • β€œCan this company scale?”
  • β€œIs the technology maintainable?”
  • β€œAre there security risks?”
  • β€œDoes the team have the right structure?”

The methodology

Four pillars. One number you can trust.

Every company is measured the same way β€” across People, Process, Technology, and Product. 260 topics and 61 tracks, scored on a 1–5 maturity scale and weighted into a single composite score you can compare across an entire portfolio.

Pillar 1

People

The team behind the tech: org structure, support, change leadership, knowledge, training, and vendor governance.

Pillar 2

Process

How the work gets done: methodology, business continuity, compliance, documentation, execution readiness, DR, and quality.

Pillar 3

Technology

What's under the hood: architecture, delivery, security, privacy, cloud, APIs, DevSecOps, IAM, network, and observability.

Pillar 4

Product

Why it wins: product strategy, market fit, monetization, customer success, accessibility, and growth signals.

FAQ

Questions? We've got answers.

Who is TechScore for?

Two groups, one platform. Target companies β€” the founders and teams being assessed β€” and the funds, accelerators, and programs that run those assessments. The home page sends each of you straight to the workflow built for you, so nobody wastes time figuring out where to go.

I'm a founder β€” how do I get started?

If a partner has invited you, just sign in with your email β€” no password to remember. From there you'll complete a guided profile, upload a few supporting documents, and receive your report. Most founders are up and running in well under an hour, and you can save and come back anytime.

I run a fund or program β€” how do I join?

Register as a partner and we'll help you set up your organization. Then invite the companies in your portfolio and assess them all against the same standard β€” with cohorts, benchmarking, and analytics that turn scattered diligence into a repeatable process.

What exactly is the Four Pillars methodology?

It's how we turn something subjective β€” "is this company's technology any good?" β€” into something you can measure and compare. Companies are scored across People, Process, Technology, and Product: 260 topics across 61 tracks, each rated on a 1–5 maturity scale and weighted into one composite score. The result is consistent, defensible, and apples-to-apples across every company.

Who can see my score and how is my data handled?

You're in control. Your assessment is visible to you and to the partner running it β€” not to other companies, and never to competitors. We use your data solely to produce your assessment, we never sell it, and company and partner workspaces are strictly isolated. See our Privacy Policy for the full details.

How long does an assessment take?

A Quick Scan gives you a meaningful first read in minutes. A full assessment moves as fast as you gather your evidence β€” most companies finish within a few days, and the guided flow tells you exactly what's needed at each step so there are no surprises.

Do I need to be technical to go through this?

Not at all. The questionnaire is written in plain language and guides you topic by topic, and you can pull in a technical teammate for the parts where it helps. The goal is to capture an honest picture of your company β€” not to trip you up with jargon.

What do I actually walk away with?

More than a number. You get a clear score across all four pillars, a breakdown of your strengths and gaps, prioritized recommendations and a roadmap, a benchmark against your peers, and an investor-ready brief β€” all in a polished report you can download and share.

How is TechScore different from a traditional technical due diligence review?

Traditional reviews depend on whoever runs them β€” their experience, their checklist, their blind spots. TechScore combines a standardized framework, evidence-based evaluation, and benchmarking, so assessments are consistent and repeatable across every company, and genuinely comparable side by side.

Can investors compare multiple companies?

Yes β€” that's the point. TechScore is built for portfolio-wide benchmarking and side-by-side comparison across every organization you assess, so a score means the same thing in every deal and you can see exactly where each company stands.

Can founders use TechScore before fundraising?

Absolutely. Many founders run TechScore ahead of a raise to find and fix gaps, strengthen their technology story, and walk into investor diligence already prepared β€” instead of being surprised by it.
