Open source under control before scaling We help you identify which open-source components the company uses, what licensing obligations apply and what must be organised before an investor, enterprise client or product sale.

For technology companies that develop SaaS, software, applications, or AI solutions and want to mitigate the risks associated with code, licenses, and third-party components.

Assess your open-source risks

The code works. But licenses can derail the deal.

In many companies, open source is treated as a technical detail. Developers use libraries, frameworks and tools, but the organisation does not always know exactly what entered the product, under which licence or what obligations arise.

Open-source risk usually does not hurt on the day a library is used. It hurts when an investor, enterprise client or buyer asks about it.

CHALLENGES

where open source most often poses hidden risks?

The company does not know what it uses The product lacks a complete list of third-party libraries, frameworks, tools, and components.

View solution

Practical audit

We map open-source components and identify where the real risks lie.

Licenses are treated as a technical detail The team can see the library, but does not analyze the licensing obligations, restrictions, and conditions for further use.

View solution

Full analysis

We classify licenses and explain what they mean for the product, sales, and IP.

There is a risk of “infecting” the code Some licenses may require the disclosure of source code or the fulfillment of obligations that the company had not planned for.

View solution

Negotiation support

We evaluate how proprietary code is integrated with open-source code and recommend corrections.

Developers operate without common rules Each team decides for itself which libraries to use, what to publish, and when to seek permission.

View solution

Building a stable system

We are developing an open-source policy and a simple component approval process.

An enterprise client asks about IP and licences The sales team needs to answer questions about open source, code rights, and license compliance, but they don't have the materials.

View solution

Kompletna documentation

We prepare documentation and responses to support business negotiations.

Due diligence reveals gaps Uncertainties regarding the code and licenses tend to surface before a funding round, a company sale, or an audit.

View solution

Strategic due diligence

We address the issue early so open source does not become a transaction red flag.

OUR SOLUTION

Licences, code and process under one coherent framework

We do not analyse things “for the sake of it”. We organise the subject so the company knows what is in its product, what it can scale, what must be improved and which rules to implement within the team.
