Technical Due Diligence,
Powered by AI

Subsystems helps investors and organizations assess technical risk, engineering quality, and organizational health with AI-powered insights and knowledge graphs.

Comprehensive Tech Assessment

Our platform combines AI agents with knowledge graphs to provide deep insights into technical organizations.

AI-Powered Analysis

Advanced LLMs and specialized agents analyze your codebase, architecture, and development processes automatically.

Knowledge Graphs

Create a framework for comparison between companies with structured knowledge graphs that learn with each audit.

Risk Assessment

Identify technical debt, security vulnerabilities, and organizational risks before they become critical issues.

Digital Twin

Build a comprehensive digital twin of engineering organizations that improves with each company audited.

Automated Audits

Streamline the due diligence process with automated data collection and analysis across multiple dimensions.

System Thinking

Leverage information theory and system thinking to understand complex organizational dynamics and feedback loops.

Johann Romefort

Founder & Technology Advisor

Johann Romefort is a veteran technology advisor with nearly 25 years of experience in the tech industry. He has conducted over 200 technical due diligence assessments for VCs and PEs in the last five years, making him one of the most experienced practitioners in the field.

As co-founder and former CTO of Seesmic (acquired by Hootsuite), Johann built and managed remote teams of 30+ developers across multiple continents. He later served as CTO-in-Residence and Managing Director at Techstars, where he mentored countless startups and deepened his understanding of the challenges facing technical organizations.

Johann is the author of "A Guide to Surviving Tech Due Diligence" and has discovered through his extensive work that most tech teams operate in reactive mode, experiencing cognitive overload as complexity grows. This insight led him to found Subsystems, combining AI-powered analysis with knowledge graphs to help organizations maintain system balance and make better technical decisions.

The Problem

Most tech teams operate in reactive mode and experience cognitive overload as complexity grows. It's difficult to maintain system balance when you can't see the full picture.

Our Solution

We combine AI-powered analysis with knowledge graphs to create a comprehensive view of technical organizations, enabling data-driven decisions and proactive risk management.

Beyond Traditional Due Diligence

While others rely on checklists and manual reviews, we provide formalism through knowledge graphs that create a framework for comparison. Our system learns with each company audited, building toward a true digital twin of engineering organizations.
