Read moreIndependent Technical Due Diligence
An independent read on the technology behind a deal — is it sound, do the capex and timeline hold.
Private-equity, venture and strategic investors, and infrastructure funds.
Read more02 / The read
Independent technical judgment, on the ground.
We read the technology behind a deal or a network the way an engineer does, and put it in terms an investment committee can act on.
03 / How we work
A method, in four steps.
- 01
Frame
Agree the questions that decide the outcome, and the evidence we need.
- 02
Examine
Work through the technology, the design assumptions, and the numbers.
- 03
Pressure-test
Challenge the assumptions against fundamentals and local reality.
- 04
Report
Findings, risks, and a clear recommendation.
04 / Who we work with
Four kinds of client.
Investors & funds
An independent technical read before you commit capital.
Operators
A technical review of a network, deployment, or connectivity asset.
Prime firms
The RF or technical component of a larger mandate.
Grant-funded developers
The analysis behind a fundable case.
05 / Selected analysis
What we’re seeing.
-
Kenya’s grid is clean and cheap at wholesale, yet almost every megawatt of live data-center capacity sits in Nairobi — next to fibre and customers, not the geothermal fields. The siting thesis and the build have not met.
Digital & Energy Infrastructure -
5G densification here is rarely limited by the radio. It’s limited by backhaul and the economics of the site.
RF & Connectivity -
Most technical due diligence closes on the capex and breaks on the timeline — permitting and interconnection, not price, are where the schedule dies.
Technical Due Diligence
Bring us a deal, a network, or a question.
Most engagements start as a scoped, fixed-shape piece of work: an RF & Connectivity Review, or a Technical Due Diligence Sprint.
