“I need a leader who can spend 25% of their time doing critical strategy and planning and leadership work, but then spend the other 75% doing tactical stuff" We hear this a lot. Fractional leadership is often the right answer. With our Fractional Exec Practice, we’re connecting a qualified and curated roster of fractional leaders with startups and scaleups that have very specific needs. Our team has spent 25+ years building relationships with tech leaders who have experience tackling critical finance, HR, go-to-market, and tech challenges. Contact us to learn more about how to add a fractional leader to your team, or to become part of our Fractional Exec Roster!

Immigrants of Tech is a spin-off from our 'Humans of Tech' series that is designed to focus on the inspiring stories of newcomers to our tech ecosystem.
This month, we're excited to share Humaira Ahmed's story -- Founder & CEO at Locelle, a mentorship platform for women in tech.
Here she shares her experience building in Canada along with some incredible tips for newcomers looking to integrate into the local tech ecosystem.
It’s client love time, where we highlight one of our incredible clients: what they do, why we’re excited to partner with them, the good they’re putting into the world, and what we’ve worked on together!
This month, we are taking a look at Doctalk. Founded and headquartered in Toronto, Doctalk was founded by a physician, for physicians. Dr. Mason Ross's first-hand experience motivated him to make physicians’ lives easier with a suite of apps that drastically improve workflow.
We were introduced to the team at Doctalk via our partners at the Accelerator Centre in 2022, when we placed Evan Bourns, now Product Lead. We are very excited to continue helping Doctalk grow and achieve their mission!
