When your company reaches a critical point in its growth, we lead as your interim CEO or COO, or work alongside you as your confidential counsel.
Book a DiagnosticAltevere is not for startups. We work with established, revenue-generating companies, generally past $2M in revenue, in any industry, at the moments when growth demands more leadership than the business has today. How we engage depends on how far along you are.
Beside the Seat
You have proven the model and you are growing, but you are not ready for a full-time executive. A CEO or COO who has done it before gives you a few days a month of confidential counsel, as a single engagement or a subscription. Younger, fast-moving companies are welcome here.
In the Seat
The seat is empty or about to be, and the company cannot drift. A full-time interim CEO or COO leads until your permanent leader is in place. Interim works best when the business is large enough to need a leader running it every day.
Not a fit
If you are still finding product-market fit or have not yet reached meaningful revenue, we will tell you honestly that you are too early, and point you toward people who serve that stage better.
These are guides, not gates. A company just under the line with a defined challenge is worth a conversation.
Tell us where your company is and what is happening. We will show you the engagement that fits, and be straight if the timing is not right.
1. Where is the company today?
2. What is happening?
Choose one option in each row to see your fit.
At every inflection point, growth stalls where direction or execution falls behind. Our all-female team of CEOs and COOs either steps into the seat for a defined period, or sits beside the leader who holds it, so strategy and operations move together.
You want to grow your company and need a roadmap to do it. Here is a fast way to see where that roadmap starts. Pick the group that sounds most familiar. It's OK if you are not fully certain what you need!
There is a stretch every growing business passes through - too big to run on instinct alone, too early to carry a full C-suite payroll, and sometimes without a CEO or COO at all. It is not a failure of the business. It is a mismatch between the size of the moment and the size of the team. The business needs senior judgment now, and recruiting a permanent executive takes longer than the moment allows.
That gap is where founders either stall, or quietly do the job themselves on top of everything else they are already carrying.
Altevere exists to close that gap. Our team of senior female executives has already solved the problems in front of you, and we step in as your interim leader or stand beside you as counsel, at exactly the level your business needs right now.
Small and medium-sized businesses are the backbone of the Canadian economy, but most are built around a founder, not a leadership team. As they grow, the gap shows up in the same places: operations, execution, and the hard calls at the top. Building senior leadership there is slow, expensive, and often more than the business needs.
Altevere answers those pressures at once. You get a senior CEO or COO who has already done the work, in the seat or beside it, in weeks rather than months and sized to what the business actually needs. Capital stays in growth, and an interim engagement is designed to end with the knowledge, capability, and momentum staying in your business, so you are not dependent on us when it is over.
Growth often stalls when the right door does not open, whether that is a regulator, an approval pathway, or a commercial partner you need to know. We facilitate introductions, on an as-needed and strictly selective basis, in the following areas:
Selective introductions to the investor community and the organizations around it, when the company is ready and if appropriate.
The associations, councils, and networks that rarely advertise, and the influential individuals behind them, that we know.
Introductions are selective and made when the company is ready and the fit is right. Altevere does not raise capital or sell securities, and does not guarantee approvals or outcomes.
Altevere works with SME founders and leadership teams of every kind. If you are a female founder, in any industry, you will find a team that understands the road you are on. And if your company is at an inflection point in its growth, we especially want to hear from you.
Founders ready to hand off day-to-day operations and build the leadership layer that growth requires.
Companies facing a departure, a succession, or an open seat, with a proven leader in place fast.
Companies absorbing investment, new owners, or a transaction, and building the operating rhythm to deliver on it.
Teams outgrowing their systems, structure, and cadence as headcount and revenue climb. The industry changes. The leadership moments do not.
Skip trying to figure out the exact fit. Tell us what is going on in the business right now, and we will tell you honestly whether you need a CEO or COO in the seat, or beside it.
