Remote Diligence & Open Source Security During Uncertain Times
Due diligence is especially unique when face-to-face interactions are not a possibility. Building trust and properly assessing risk can be difficult without the luxury of reading a room, gauging body language, or taking informal side-bars.
Though we prefer in-person interactions, Thinktiv has built our practices to support remote work from the inception of our business. Even prior to COVID-19, we regularly conducted product and go-to-market evaluations remotely. We have found that, with the right tools and techniques, there is no need to sacrifice diligence rigor during remote processes.
Recently we discussed approaches that have helped Thinktiv reach confident conclusions in challenging remote diligence environments, and how you can apply these systems to your deals.
The session was co-hosted with our highly experienced partners, AWS, Kickdrum, and WhiteSource, to present a holistic perspective on key aspects of software diligence.
