Stop Getting Burned by People Who Don't Have Your Interests at Heart
Synapse Storm is the unbiased, external technical partner that non-technical companies have been missing. We protect your budget, hold vendors and developers accountable, and bring executive-level strategy — without the executive price tag.
Every Non-Technical Founder Has Been Here
The technology landscape is littered with opportunities for vendors, contractors, and employees to take advantage of companies that lack internal expertise. You need someone who's been on every side of that table.
Developers billing for work you can't verify
You're paying hourly but have no way to know if the scope is reasonable, the estimates are accurate, or the work is being done efficiently. You're essentially writing blank checks.
Vendors overselling what you actually need
Every software vendor says their platform is perfect for you. Without technical expertise in your corner, you're making $50K decisions based on a sales pitch and a demo.
Projects that arrive late, over-budget, or just wrong
The project that was "almost done" three months ago still isn't done. The budget is 40% over. And when it shipped, half the requirements were missed. Sound familiar?
No internal expertise to push back or verify claims
When your dev team or IT vendor tells you something "can't be done" or "will take six weeks," you have no choice but to take their word for it. That's an incredibly vulnerable position.
You need someone in your corner who has been the developer, the vendor, the team lead, and the CEO — someone whose only agenda is protecting your interests and helping you build something that actually works.

I've been the developer who billed the hours. I've been the vendor pitching the platform. I've been the team lead estimating the scope. And I've been the CEO trying to make sense of all of it. That full-spectrum experience is what makes this different.
After founding, building, and exiting multiple companies — including a web agency, a technical consulting firm, and hardware ventures — I started Synapse Storm to be the resource I wish had existed when I was on the other side of the table.

We've Been in the Trenches. Ask the People We Saved.
Jared is an amazing business consultant. He is able to look at a problem from marketing, employee retention, website design, ecommerce, architecture, IT and find a solution. He re-architected and implemented our business server infrastructure from the ground up and saved us thousands to better manage our remote employees. I would say he is a fantastic CEO, CTO, and business advisor.
Direct quote from multiple people who work with Jared: "JARED IS THE SMARTEST PERSON I KNOW!!!" He is so knowledgeable and is an expert at so many things — web analytics, web design, marketing, manufacturing, design, photography, videography, inventing, entrepreneurship, networking. If you ever get a chance to work with Jared count yourself very blessed. He really cares about just helping people with no ulterior motive.
