What we fix
The problems we solve.
Most businesses don't need another full-time hire. They need one expensive problem solved by someone who's done it before. This is where we earn our keep, drawing on whichever executive seat the job calls for.
- Audit every recurring cost, from tools to vendors to contracts, and cut or consolidate what isn't earning its keep
- Restructure the expensive manual processes quietly driving your labour spend
- Tie spend to output, so you know what's actually working before you cut
- Pricing and packaging built on the value you deliver, not the number you guessed at launch
- Tiers and structure that move customers up instead of capping your revenue
- Willingness-to-pay testing before you commit to a price you can't walk back
- We build the niche system that supports or optimizes your business, at a fraction of off-the-shelf enterprise pricing
- You own what we build: a real asset you could license or sell, not another monthly subscription
- AI and automation layered into the exact workflows where it pays for itself
- Get the company sale-ready: clean up the operations, financials and founder-dependencies that scare off buyers and drag down valuation
- Step in as bridge leadership so it keeps running through the handover instead of stalling the day you leave
- Structure the exit: valuation, deal terms, and finding or grooming whoever takes the wheel
How we work
We put skin in the game. That's the difference.
Consultants invoice and leave. We structure engagements so we only win when the thing we built actually works.
Fractional leadership
One or more executive seats on a monthly retainer. Set days, real accountability, embedded in your team, not advice from the sidelines.
Structure: monthly retainer, scale up or down quarterly
Build for ownership
We design and build the product or platform your business needs at a significantly reduced cash cost, in exchange for part ownership of what we build. Your capital risk drops; our incentive to make it succeed goes up.
Structure: reduced cash + equity in the product
Automation sprints
Fixed-scope engagements that target your most expensive manual processes. We quantify the hours being burned, automate them, and hand you the system.
Structure: fixed scope, fixed price, measured in hours recovered
Funding
Spend the government's money before yours.
Canadian companies leave enormous amounts of innovation funding unclaimed every year. Claiming it requires technical documentation, project structuring and patience most teams don't have.
We scope projects to qualify from day one. The build you were going to pay for anyway becomes a build that's partially funded before it starts.
- SR&ED tax creditsR&D expenditure refunds on qualifying development work
- NRC IRAPFunding and advisory for technology innovation projects
- FedDev OntarioSouthern Ontario business growth and productivity funding
