Help! I am a self-funded searcher and am less than 45 days from closing - I just made it through the accounting diligence process, technology diligence process - and now ramping up the legal diligence process. The target is a SaaS-based opportunity.

Does anyone have a good 100-day plan template they can share or point me to? I would be really appreciative!

First off CONGRATULATIONS!!!!


Would be curious to know what your technology diligence encompassed redacted ?


From a technology perspective, here is somethings that should be included in your 100-day plan template:

• Complete overview of full technology stack including both on prem, cloud and SAAS services
• Technology staff (employees/contractors) overview and skill set baseline
• Understanding all policies in place (i.e. Disaster/ Business Continuity Plans)
• Assuming your product (SaaS-based opportunity) resides on a public cloud (i.e. AWS, Azure) – ensuring the deployment meets the necessary compliance standards (i.e. NIST, GDPAR, etc.). The deployment is a shared security model – meaning both the cloud provider and the company are responsible for security.
• Software – ensure all software versions are up to date and there is no usage of unlicensed software being utilized. Using outdated software can result in a security issues and unlicensed software can result in fines.

^redacted‌ ^redacted‌ ^redacted‌, seeing this long string of "me too" requests made me think, do you guys envision building some sort of template exchange into the Platform in the future? I imagine there are a litany of complexities in executing that well, but this simple exchange above lends me to believe there's latent demand :).
