Through its investments, BayBG is currently strengthening the capital base of 500 Bavarian medium-sized businesses. The BayBG is thus the Bavarian market leader among medium-sized enterprise-oriented investment companies. BayBG enables the companies to realize expansion and innovation plans, make corporate succession plans as well as optimize the capital structure and implementation of turn-around measures.

Regularly, BayBG invests in young and innovative software start-ups. During due diligences as prerequisites for the investement, BayBG puts the spot light also on software quality and software future proofness.

To make an investment decision, we conduct the software due diligence (SDD) for BayBG. The SDD aims to identify risks in the underlying software product in terms of its future proofness in very short time. A software due diligenece differs from a complete software audit as it comprises only a »red flag analysis«.

Many of the software products are medium-sized applications with a diverse technology stack. They often comprise languags from Java and C# to Ruby and PHP. As database systems, both relational databases as well as different forms of NoSQL databases play an important role.

BayBG receives fast but yet reliable feedback towards their investment decision. The feedback contains a risk assessment for the software product's future proofness. Thereby, the SDD covers areas such as code quality, technolgoy stack, software architecture, development processes as well as level of investment. It simply creates transparency about the often not visible inner software quality of the product.

For its investment decision,  BayBG can rely on the results of the software due diligence and, if necessary, use the provided recommendations as requirements for the investment contract.
