At Proficient Professionals Inc., we work alongside investors, PE firms, and venture advisors to assess, support, and strengthen the technical foundations of their portfolio companies. Whether you’re investing in a startup, conducting due diligence, or need interim technical leadership post-funding, we provide strategic insight with hands-on execution.

We don’t just evaluate tech—we help align it to value creation.

Evaluate Tech Strategy & Risk

Before the term sheet is signed or a new round closes, we assess the target’s technology stack, architecture decisions, hiring plans, and product roadmap. We provide a clear-eyed view of the opportunities, risks, and level of technical maturity—so investors can make confident decisions backed by technical clarity.

Support Due Diligence & Technical Audits

We conduct light- and deep-dive technical audits that align with your investment thesis. From reviewing codebase quality and scalability to analyzing infrastructure cost models and compliance posture, we deliver structured assessments that go beyond gut feel.

Drive Product-Market Fit Readiness

We help teams focus their efforts on what matters most: shipping products customers love. That includes product/tech alignment, agile execution, and prioritizing features that shorten the feedback loop—turning strategy into traction.

Reduce Infrastructure Costs & Delivery Risks

Startups often overspend on cloud infrastructure or run into delivery bottlenecks due to poor tooling, team structure, or architecture. We help correct course by optimizing cost, reducing waste, and improving delivery pipelines—so funding goes further and outcomes arrive faster.

Get Engineering on Track Post-Funding

The first 6–12 months after funding are critical. We support portfolio companies with interim technical leadership, team ramp-up, hiring strategy, and execution alignment—so founders can scale with confidence and investor goals stay on track.
