Technology Strategy for Companies
That Built Something Worth Protecting

IT strategy, modernization, and advisory for privately held businesses where growth has outpaced technology. We reduce risk, protect valuation, and build operational leverage.

Thinking About an Exit?

  • Profitable, but you don't trust your data
  • Everything depends on 2–3 key people
  • Buyers will rip your IT apart in diligence
  • IT costs keep rising without real leverage

What we do

PE-style tech diligence before PE shows up. We identify the risks that kill valuation, build roadmaps that scream "investable," and modernize systems so your business runs without you in the room.

"We help privately owned businesses remove the tech risks that kill valuation during a sale or recap."

For Operators

Stuck Holding the IT Bag?

  • Legacy systems stitched together with workarounds
  • Security anxiety — especially after peer breaches
  • No long-term roadmap, just fires
  • Transformation is needed but you can't sequence it

What we do

Fractional CIO leadership, vendor rationalization, and clear prioritization tied to business outcomes. We give you enterprise-grade IT strategy without the enterprise-grade payroll.

"Enterprise-grade IT strategy without the enterprise-grade IT team."

Tech Diligence That Becomes a Plan

  • Tech diligence is rushed or shallow
  • Post-close execution partners are hard to find
  • Portfolio tech stacks are "boring" but high-risk

What we do

Pre-close tech diligence that goes beyond red flags. We build 90–180 day execution plans, provide ongoing portfolio support, and deploy infrastructure that creates value — not just mitigates risk.

"We turn tech diligence from a red-flag report into an executable value-creation plan."

How We Work

Four principles that shape every engagement.

🛡

Risk Reduction

Nobody at this level buys features. They buy risk reduction, valuation protection, and operational leverage.

💬

Operator + Investor

We bridge the gap between the people who built the business and the people evaluating it. Fluent in both languages.

🤝

Stewardship

Long-term relationships, not transactions. Systems designed to survive leadership transitions — same principle, enterprise scale.

🔓

Your Stack, Your Control

Open source, self-hosted. No vendor lock-in. The client owns the infrastructure. Aligns with PE diligence expectations.

Industries Where Tech Debt Drags Valuation

We work with companies in asset-heavy, process-heavy, and compliance-heavy industries where outdated systems create real business risk.
