Areas of Expertise

We advise on a lot of topics, but here’s what we’re great at.


Digital Strategy and Implementation

 

Mike deeply understands both technology and business and has a unique ability to simplify the complex. He built two software companies that are widely acclaimed for their innovative technology and business practices. Transform and grow your company with a pragmatic digital strategy.


Culture

 

Over a 14 year period, Mike grew Rustici Software to employ almost 50 people, most of whom were very talented and highly recruited software developers. In that entire time, only four people ever left the company voluntarily. If you can hire and retain exceptional people many problems just go away. 


Work Life Planning

 

Mike founded and grew two software companies that both exited in eight figure transactions. He never missed an important event in his kids’ lives, was always home for dinner, took a lot of vacations and can count on one hand the number of times he worked substantially over 40 hours a week. Don’t live to work, work to live. 


Exit Preparation /
Get Your $&*! Together

 

The key to a successful exit is a clean, well-run business. Most exit preparations also improve efficiency, aid growth, and reduce stress. Creating a robust business is the key to better balance and a profitable exit.
