  • Technical due diligence
  • Architecture and codebase assessments
  • AI opportunity and feasibility reviews
  • Engineering recommendations

Advisory only, or with implementation

Technology Advisory for Startups

Not every startup needs a development team immediately. Sometimes the most valuable next step is a clearer roadmap, an independent technical assessment, or experienced guidance before committing engineering budget. BGIT can provide advisory as a standalone engagement, with implementation available separately when needed.

Strategy & Roadmapping

Help founders align technology decisions with product priorities, business goals, and available resources.

Example deliverables

  • Technology roadmap
  • Technology stack recommendations
  • Build-versus-buy assessment
  • Prioritized technical initiatives

Technical Due Diligence & Architecture Reviews

Provide accelerators, investors, and startup stakeholders with a structured assessment of a company's technology and engineering risks.

Assessed within agreed scope

System architecture and code quality · Technical debt and dependencies · Scalability, reliability, and security risks · Engineering practices and delivery risks

Example deliverables

  • Formal technical assessment report
  • Findings and risk register
  • Architecture recommendations
  • Prioritized remediation roadmap

A technical and engineering assessment, not financial or legal due diligence or a guarantee of investment quality.

AI Strategy & Opportunity Assessment

Help startups determine where AI can create value before committing to implementation.

Example deliverables

  • AI opportunity assessment
  • Prioritized use cases
  • Feasibility and data-readiness recommendations
  • Proof-of-concept plan

Cloud, Security & Readiness Reviews

Evaluate technical foundations and identify practical improvements.

Example deliverables

  • Technical readiness assessment
  • Infrastructure and architecture recommendations
  • Security gap summary
  • Improvement roadmap

Engineering Advisory

Help founders make better engineering decisions and improve technical delivery.

Example deliverables

  • Engineering process recommendations
  • Technical architecture guidance
  • Team and vendor recommendations
  • Technical decision and improvement plans

How we work

What a 12-Week Technology Engagement Could Look Like

An illustrative framework that can be adapted to the startup's stage, objectives, and scope of work.

  1. Weeks 1–2

    Assess & Prioritize

    • Understand business and product goals.
    • Review current technical maturity and key risks.
    • Identify the highest-priority opportunities.
  2. Weeks 3–4

    Validate & Plan

    • Define product and technical priorities.
    • Assess architecture, feasibility, or AI opportunities.
    • Establish an actionable roadmap.
  3. Weeks 5–8

    Enable & Execute

    • Provide agreed technical guidance or workshops.
    • Build approved prototypes, MVP components, or AI proofs of concept where scoped.
    • Review progress against agreed objectives.
  4. Weeks 9–10

    Test & Strengthen

    • Assess quality and implementation progress.
    • Identify technical gaps and risks.
    • Recommend improvements to reliability, security, or architecture as applicable.
  5. Weeks 11–12

    Demonstrate & Plan Next Steps

    • Review agreed deliverables.
    • Prepare demonstrations where appropriate.
    • Document recommendations and next-stage priorities.

This schedule is illustrative, not a fixed package or guaranteed timeline. Advisory-only engagements may follow a shorter or different schedule, and not every startup needs a development phase.
