New tool helps founders, even non-technical ones, ask the right questions before committing to a tech partner.
We have today launched a comprehensive Tech Vendor Assessment. This new tool is designed to help founders and business leaders, even non-technical ones avoid the common, costly pitfalls of selecting the wrong technology partner.
The initiative addresses a painful pattern in the industry where a vendor’s “perfect” portfolio and competitive pricing hide underlying issues with architecture, scalability, or processes. This misalignment can lead to failed launches, wasted capital, and months of lost time.
The inspiration for the assessment came from a client engagement that highlighted the power of asking the right questions upfront.
“A few years ago, a SaaS founder sent us an incredibly deep, 30-question assessment before we even had our first call,” said Ranjana Thanvi, Group CEO, Memorres Pty Ltd.” It covered architecture philosophy, team stability, and conflict resolution. It led to a perfectly aligned, successful partnership.”
That client later revealed their diligence was born from a previous $500,000, 18-month-long vendor failure that required a complete rebuild from scratch.
“That client’s thoroughness, born from a costly mistake, was a major inspiration. We’ve seen so many founders with the same painful story,” Ranjana continued. “We realized we could help prevent this. We combined the spirit of those questions with our own team’s decades of experience to create a comprehensive assessment for founders. We built this tool to give everyone the right questions from day one, protecting their investment and their vision before they wire the first payment.”
The Memorres’ Tech Vendor Assessment is a comprehensive guide that helps businesses:
- Protect their investment before making a financial commitment.
- Spot critical red flags early in the vetting process.
- Ask questions that reveal how a vendor actually works, not just what they promise.
- Feel confident in their decision, even if they are non-technical.
- Avoid the “rebuild nightmare” by focusing on criteria that predict successful, long-term partnerships.
