The VC Technical Due Diligence Resource Kit.

Are you investing in IP, or just renting an API?

The private market is currently flooded with startups pitching "Proprietary AI." Their decks look incredible, and their UIs are slick.

But under the hood? Many are just thin wrappers around public APIs like OpenAI or Anthropic. They have zero technical moat and are entirely dependent on another company's pricing model.

If you invest without auditing the code architecture, you aren't buying an asset. You are buying a liability.

This Resource Kit contains the exact tools Total Finance Resolver uses to audit early-stage AI companies before advising investment committees to wire funds.

What's Inside the Kit:

1. The Proprietary 5-Point Technical Due Diligence Framework (PDF) This is the internal methodology we use to separate real tech from the wrappers. It goes beyond the pitch deck to ask the uncomfortable technical questions about:

• Code Ownership vs. API Dependency.
• Scalability of unit economics on heavy compute loads.
• Data lineage and rights management.

2. BONUS: The Seed-to-Series A Board Pack Template (PDF) A clean, professional 5-slide template designed to help your early-stage portfolio founders present their metrics to the board with clarity and discipline. (Includes structures for SaaS metrics, burn rate analysis, and strategic asks).

Who this is for:

• VCs & Angels deploying capital into Seed/Series A AI rounds.
• Corporate Development Teams evaluating technical acquisitions.
• Founders preparing to survive rigorous technical diligence.
