We are Embeddable.
We help investors judge technology risk before they commit, and give founders and growing businesses the senior technology leadership to deliver.
Examples of our work, without client details: a technical due diligence report for investors, a quarterly technology report for growing businesses, and a product roadmap for founders starting out.
Who we help
For VCs, angel investors and syndicates, and corporate finance advisers on a transaction.
You need confidence that the technical foundations of a current or future portfolio company are sound.
Capital is only as strong as the execution behind it.
We provide technical due diligence, independent leadership, and ongoing support to reduce risk and improve outcomes, whether you’re backing a business or involved on a deal.
For investor-backed scaleups, and established owner-managed businesses without a full-time CTO.
Your business has grown, but your technology is starting to slow you down rather than support you.
Growth creates complexity, which adds strain to systems, teams, processes, and products.
We bring fresh perspective backed by experience, structure, and efficiency to help you move forward.
For founders with an idea, funding on its way, or early traction.
You have an idea that feels obvious to you, but hard to translate into something buildable and affordable.
You know your industry. You see the opportunity.
We help you translate that thinking into a clear, realistic plan without burning cash or locking yourself into the wrong decisions, giving you the best chance of success.
You don’t need to have all the answers yet.
You do need clarity, confidence, and someone senior who has seen this before.
That’s where we come in.
Deep dives into our involvement at key points in idea validation, investment, growth, and delivery, where technology decisions materially affect outcomes.
A familiar idea, reframed:
Expertise made accessible, designed around where you are now.
Our involvement adapts to your stage, but the intent stays the same.
We reduce risk. Increase confidence. Create momentum.
How we work
We act as an embedded technology leader for the businesses and investors we work with.
That means we stay close to the detail, understand the commercial reality, and take responsibility for decisions, not just recommendations.
We stay involved from strategy through to delivery where needed. For as long as you need us.
We structure our engagements to give enough time to understand your industry and challenge assumptions properly, without locking you into the wrong long term arrangement.
From early exploration through to scale, investment, and exit.
Our assessments stand on their own. We check every engagement for conflicts before we start.
