Operator-led investment studio
We operate software companies —
the ones we fix and
the ones we build.
For twenty years we’ve founded, scaled, and sold communications software companies. Today we put that operating depth to work in two ways: turning around existing companies, and building new ones.
For existing companies
We work side by side with your team.
From advisory to full contract CEO, CTO, and finance roles — as deep as the situation calls for. The same people who read the financial statements build the systems that fix them.
How our operating engagements work
For new companies
We build and back new software companies.
A venture studio focused on communications and AI infrastructure — founded by founders who have taken three companies from first line of code to acquisition.

Case study — working with existing companies
From monthly losses to profitable in a single year
A ~$6M telephone answering service was losing $40–60K a month with $30K in the bank and $1M+ in litigation exposure. We stepped in as contract CEO, CTO, and finance — and rebuilt it into a profitable, accelerating business in twelve months.
- $476K
- net profit in year one — from losing $40–60K a month
- ~$35K
- total new capital across the entire year
- 12 mo
- from steep losses to profitable
- ~$160K
- profit in the final month — accelerating, not just stabilized
