Common Questions About Working With AKF.
Answers to what clients ask most before starting an engagement. Don't see your question? Reach out — we're happy to talk.
AKF Partners offers four categories of services: Technology Consulting (architecture, process, and organizational strategy), Technical Due Diligence (evaluation for M&A and investment decisions), Interim Technology Leadership (interim CTO, VP Engineering, Chief Architect, and CISO placement), and Delivery Coaching (embedded coaching to improve delivery velocity). See the Services page for the full list.
Technical due diligence is a comprehensive evaluation of a target company's product architecture, engineering organization, and development processes — performed for M&A, private equity, and investment decisions. It tells you what you're getting, and what it will cost to fix, before you commit capital.
Pricing is tiered by company size and complexity. Standard Technical Due Diligence (single-product startups, typically Seed to Series C) runs $25,000–$40,000. Expanded Technical Due Diligence (larger or multi-product companies, Series C+) runs $40,000–$75,000. Enterprise & Custom Diligence for large acquisitions starts at $50,000 with custom pricing. See the Technical Due Diligence page for full tier details.
Engagements follow three stages: Discover & Assess (understanding your goals, constraints, team, and current state — no cookie-cutter frameworks), Design & Prioritize (a clear, prioritized roadmap rather than a report that collects dust), and Execute & Transfer (we stay through execution, then transfer knowledge so you own the outcome after we're gone).
AKF's team brings decades of real-world experience as CEOs, COOs, CTOs, VPs of Engineering, Chief Architects, and Technical Operations leaders — not career consultants. See the Team page for backgrounds.
AKF works with companies of all sizes — from single-product startups (Seed to Series C) to large enterprises and Fortune 500 companies, across technical due diligence, consulting, and digital transformation engagements.
AKF Partners is headquartered in Austin, TX. The team has led engagements and held interim leadership roles with companies across the country, including New York, California, and beyond.
