Most PE firms own technology-dependent businesses but don't have a technology executive who has actually operated one. We fill that gap — with the cost discipline the model demands.
Start a Conversation →Your deal teams can model the financials, assess the market, and negotiate the terms. But when it comes to evaluating whether a target's technology is an asset or a liability — or turning a portfolio company's tech stack into a growth driver — most firms rely on surface-level diligence and hope for the best.
We bring operator-level technology and AI expertise to every stage of the investment lifecycle: pre-deal diligence, post-close value creation, and the operational work in between.
Five ways we move the needle.
Each engagement is sized to what the situation needs — from a focused assessment to an embedded fractional role.
Turn AI from a talking point into a durable advantage. We identify the highest-ROI use cases, build agentic and GenAI capabilities into products and operations, and know where AI genuinely creates value versus where it just adds cost and risk.
Assess a target's or portfolio company's architecture, team, technical debt, security posture, and AI readiness before or after close — translated into commercial terms a deal team can act on.
Apply digital and product experience to help portfolio companies win customers, ship faster, and differentiate — moving the metric that drives the exit multiple.
Reduce IT and software spend through smarter architecture, build-vs-buy discipline, and capital-efficient AI. We run a production AI platform on a few hundred dollars a month — we bring that same discipline to your portfolio.
The on-call technology executive a portfolio company needs but isn't yet ready to hire full-time. We set strategy, steady delivery, and develop the team — embedded or across a portfolio.
We've run the organizations a PE firm would own.

Nearly two decades of applied AI — from text analytics to today's agentic systems — and 26 patents.
Deep experience across speech recognition, predictive maintenance, computer vision, and modern generative AI — applied to real commercial outcomes.
Sized to what the situation needs.
Engagements are flexible — from a one-time assessment to an ongoing fractional retainer. We work across a portfolio or embedded in a single company.
A fast, senior read on where a business stands and where the value is. Typically completed in 2–4 weeks. Deliverable: a clear-eyed report your deal team or board can act on.
Prioritized initiatives with estimated impact, cost, and timeline. We identify the 20% of technology work that drives 80% of enterprise value — and sequence it for maximum return.
Ongoing fractional CTO/CIO engagement or hands-on execution of the highest-priority value creation work. We stay as long as the value justifies, and build toward a clean handoff.
Whether you're evaluating a target, accelerating a portfolio company, or looking for a technology partner across your fund — we should have a conversation.
