Senior technology partner
The firm you bring in when it has to be right.
We take an idea from the first architecture decision to a product in production, and we run the whole team that gets it there. One senior engineer or a full cross-functional group, sized to the work and managed by us.

Read the record →Who you are working with
An operator, not just a vendor.
Div42 is led by Frank R. Robles. In 1998 he originated the metro Ethernet carrier model and co-founded the company that built it. Since then he has founded a carrier and a green data center, run a seed fund, served as CTO of a 3,600-person multinational, and led a legal marketplace through its sale to a public company. He still writes the core of what we build.
What that record includes
- Co-founder and CEO of NanoSpace, renamed Yipes: 36,000 miles of metro fiber and $291 million raised.
- Two US patents in data communication.
- AFWERX SBIR Phase II for the US Air Force: on the winning proposal team and development lead, from zero code to a working solution.
- CTO or COO at Operational Technologies, JustLegal, DigitalTown, ClearFunds and DisinfectWell.
- GateTracker, in production since 2014, which we own and license today.
What we do
Three kinds of work.
Executive consulting
Senior technical and business judgment in the room when the stakes are high: strategy, architecture review, due diligence, fractional CTO or COO.
