Testimonial: Fractional Leadership

Fractional Technical Leadership

My name is Brian Clark, and I built and ran Ascent RegTech for about 7 years. Set during the first AI boom, we faced a number of challenges, two of which were building product infrastructure and needing additional engineering leadership as the company grew. Facing both technical and team building tasks is commonplace for all startups, yet daunting nonetheless.

Our problem

I chose to work with Dave and Red Squirrel for three key reasons:

Competency – Their ability to (1) truly understand the technical requirements and customer needs, and (2) propose and build thoughtful, efficient solutions using the most modern tools available (key for any company seeking to compete effectively).

Integrity – The patience to understand a problem completely, the ability to face challenging time constraints and people management with unparalleled empathy, and a genuine thoughtfulness makes working with Dave and the team a true pleasure.

Delivery – Dave and team delivered, period.

Results

The results? A stable and growing engineering team, and a first of its kind product infrastructure that underpinned our growth to 7 figures + in revenue.
