About

Operators first. Agency second.

We did not start an agency and go looking for clients. We built software to run our own companies, ran them on it for years, and then other operators asked for the same thing. This page is who we are, how an engagement actually runs, and where we work.

What we are, formally

An IT and technology consulting, solutions and management services agency.

That is the category, and it is accurate: we advise on the technology a business should run on, we build and install the solutions, and we manage them afterward. The difference from the usual firm in that category is everything below. We run five companies on the same systems we sell, so the advice comes from operating, not from a deck.

Who is behind it

Two founders. Our own companies. No account managers.

Engineering and systems

Benjamin Inyang

Wrote the operating layer and runs it across all our own companies: the multi-tenant platform, the payment rails nobody else would approve, the hiring funnel, the meeting intelligence. If it runs at 2am, he built the thing that runs it.

  • 879 API functions in production
  • Postgres, row-level security, tested restores
  • Majority owner, minority-owned business
Operations and growth

Esther Stowell

Runs the businesses the software runs. Hiring, customers, cash, content. Every feature we install was first something she needed at 7am on a Tuesday, which is why the tool fits an operator, not a demo.

  • Chief executive across the group
  • Co-founder and chief executive
  • Fourteen podcast episodes in production this season

You work with the two of us. There is no handoff to a junior team after the sale, because there is no junior team.

A letter from the founders

We wrote this software because we were the ones reading the inbox at midnight.

We did not start out to run an agency. We started out running a cleaning company, then a property management group, then a podcast with a store, and every one of them had the same problem: the tools did not talk to each other, so a person had to. For a long time that person was one of us.

We looked for software that would run a business rather than store data about it. We could not buy it, so we wrote it. The morning briefing, the lead that gets recovered and priced at 9:42pm, the applicants who get scored and booked without a phone call, the meetings that end in tasks with names on them. Those are not features we dreamed up for clients. They are the things that let us stop doing the work by hand.

Other owners started asking how we did it. So now we install the same systems in their companies, at a fixed price, and we run our own on the same code every day. If it breaks, it breaks for us first.

We are two people. There is no account manager. When you call, you get one of us, and we will tell you if you do not need us.

How it runs

Four steps. The first one is free.

  1. Week 0

    Teardown

    Send us what your business runs on. We record a walkthrough of your stack and send back exactly what we would automate, replace, or leave alone. Yours to keep, no strings.

  2. Week 1

    Blueprint

    One document: the systems we will install, what each one earns, the price, the date. Fixed. If it does not pay for itself inside a year we tell you so.

  3. Weeks 2 to 8

    Install

    Seventy percent already exists, because it runs our own companies. We configure it to yours, migrate your data, train your team inside the tool, and go live in stages.

  4. Month 3 onward

    Operate

    We stay. Errors reach us before they reach you. Every month you get the numbers and the next thing worth building, priced before it is built.

Where we work

Built in Salt Lake City.
Run from anywhere.

Our own companies are in Utah, so the flagship install is proven on Utah businesses first. Everything we build runs remotely, and most of our work is done without ever meeting in a room.

In person
Salt Lake City, Provo, Ogden, Park City and the Wasatch Front. Silicon Slopes founders, service companies, clinics, contractors.
Across the United States
Every time zone, remote. Same install, same team, same operating layer.
English-speaking markets
Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Singapore, the UAE. Remote-first, one flagship engagement at a time.

Questions people ask on the first call

Straight answers.

Do we have to replace the software we already use?

Usually not all of it. The teardown sorts your stack into keep, connect, and replace. If your scheduling tool works, we wire the operating layer around it. We replace things that leak money or hold your data hostage.

How is this different from hiring an agency or a developer?

An agency delivers a file and leaves. A developer builds what you ask for. We install something that already runs our own companies, then stay to operate it. You are buying a working system and the people who run it, not hours.

What does it actually cost?

The teardown is free. The flagship install is twenty-five to forty-five thousand dollars, then three to six thousand a month to run. The two-week vertical install for cleaning and home services is twelve to twenty thousand. Every price is on the services page, and every quote is fixed before we start.

Who owns the software and the data?

Your data is yours, exported on request in open formats. The operating layer is licensed to you for as long as we run it, and everything configured for your business is documented so you are never trapped.

We are not in Utah. Does that matter?

No. Every install is remote by default. Utah clients get us in the room when it helps. Everyone else gets the same team, the same system, and a recorded walkthrough of every change.

How fast is fast?

The two-week vertical install is two weeks. The full operating layer is six to ten weeks, live in stages so your team is never switched over all at once. Voice and intake agents are running in under three weeks.
