What we do

When investors and founders look at a software, data, or AI business, they’re really asking one question: can this technology become durable enterprise value?​

That’s what we do.

We act as deep‑tech fractional and advisory executives for private equity firms, corporate M&A teams, and venture‑backed founders. We combine technical due diligence, product and platform strategy, and hands‑on operating experience to evaluate, transform, and scale technology companies.

  • Before the deal, we perform technical and product diligence so you know what you’re buying: architecture, codebase, data, AI/ML assets, security, DevOps, and team. You get a clear risk map and a 90‑day / 12‑month value‑creation plan tied to the investment thesis.

  • After the deal, we design and lead tech and operating‑model transformations—cloud and platform modernization, roadmap focus, unit‑economics improvements, and portfolio‑grade metrics.​

  • Between deals, we step in as fractional CTO/COO for portfolio and venture‑backed companies that need senior technical leadership to hit the next round or exit.​

We don’t just advise from the sidelines—we get in the trenches with management teams: pressure‑testing the story for IC, fixing delivery bottlenecks, aligning engineering with finance and GTM, and building the dashboards investors actually manage against. The result is clarity, speed, and measurable impact, not buzzwords.​

This is technology leadership built for PE, M&A, and high‑growth startups: deal‑savvy, execution‑focused, and fractional by design.

How We Work
We keep the model simple and execution‑focused:

  1. Assess
    We start with a focused diagnostic or technical due diligence sprint—reviewing architecture, code, data, AI/ML assets, security, team, and operating metrics. You get a clear red/yellow/green view of risk and upside, plus where technology is helping or hurting the deal and the P&L.

  2. Design
    Next, we build a 90‑day and 12‑month value‑creation plan that ties specific technology, product, and operating changes to EBITDA, revenue growth, and exit readiness. This becomes the shared blueprint for investors, founders, and the leadership team.​

  3. Execute
    Finally, we stay involved at the level you need—fractional CTO/COO, advisor to the CEO, or board‑level partner—to drive the plan with your teams. We help hire and shape leadership, tune the roadmap, fix delivery bottlenecks, and stand up the dashboards and rhythms investors rely on.

You get a partner who can speak fluently with engineers, founders, CFOs, and investment committees—and who stays long enough to see the plan through.
