Private Equity and Venture Capital on AWS

Portfolio value creation runs on engineering. Diligence, modernization, and board reporting run the same AWS architecture across every company you back.

PE and VC firms invest faster than portfolio engineering can keep up. We run senior-architect diligence, embed pods inside portfolio companies, and standardise landing zones, observability, and cost telemetry across the book. AWS Premier Partner. Strategic Collaboration Agreement for AWS funding across the portfolio.

What Private Equity actually moves on.

The four problems most portfolios run into between close and quarter four.

Tech diligence on a deadline, mismatched stacks, value plans that ignore engineering, board reporting that takes weeks. We have unblocked all four.

Two weeks to a board recommendation on a target you have not met.

Two weeks to a board recommendation. The target engineering organization is opaque. Existing diligence vendors deliver slide decks, not architecture verdicts a CTO can defend.

Portfolio companies on incompatible stacks.

One company on legacy Rackspace, one on a half-baked Kubernetes setup, one on Heroku. No consistent landing zone, no shared cost model, no comparable engineering metrics.

100-day plans that stall in month four when engineering says no.

100-day plans focused on revenue and pricing. Engineering left to the in-house team, who are already underwater. The plan stalls in month four.

Board reporting that takes weeks to produce.

Analysts pulling numbers from QuickBooks, Pendo, Datadog, and ten Looker dashboards into a deck the night before. No real-time portfolio view of cost, reliability, or AI readiness.

How Armakuni shows up in Private Equity.

Not every offering applies in this vertical. Here are the ones that fit, and the angle we take with each.

Modernization with AI
See offering →

Portfolio modernization without engineering discipline turns into a long tail of half-finished projects. We run the AK Way across portfolio companies: standardized AWS landing zones, observable architecture, pipelined environments, and AI augmentation where it earns its place.

  • Standardized AWS landing zones across portfolio
  • Modernization roadmaps tied to value-creation milestones
  • Cross-portfolio shared services for observability and cost
Migration with Agentic AI
See offering →

Speed-to-AWS is a value-creation lever. Our agentic migration tooling moves portfolio companies off legacy hosting in months, not years, with fixed scope and fixed price the deal team can underwrite.

  • Rackspace to AWS in 5 months for SaaS portfolio companies
  • AWS MAP-funded migrations with funding attached pre-close
  • Agentic discovery, replatforming, and runbook generation
Application Development Pods
See offering →

When a portfolio company needs senior engineers fast, we embed named pods inside their team. Same standups, same repos, fixed scope. Knowledge transfers continuously, so the portfolio company runs everything we built when the engagement ends.

  • Embedded engineering pods inside portfolio companies
  • 100-day technical execution against the value-creation plan
  • Senior architects on call for cross-portfolio reviews
Data Engineering
See offering →

Board-ready reporting needs a portfolio data layer. We build the AWS-native data platform that pulls cost, reliability, AI readiness, and product metrics from each portfolio company into one place the operating team can actually use.

  • Portfolio-wide cost and reliability data platform
  • QuickSight dashboards tuned for board cycle
  • Cross-portfolio benchmarking with consistent metrics
Managed Services
See offering →

Portfolio companies need ops without hiring 24x7 SRE in-house. Our managed pods take ownership of platform reliability, security posture, and cost telemetry across the portfolio with one accountable interface for the operating partner.

  • 24x7 SRE and platform operations across portfolio
  • DevSecOps with security gates in every deployment pipeline
  • Quarterly portfolio reliability and cost reviews
