The team

Architect + operator.

The dyad is intentional. One principal designs the system; the other makes sure it lands inside your business. Both lead every engagement — backed by a senior bench we scope in as the work demands.

The architect

Tim Alvis

Founding CTO ×2 2 exits SPINS CPTO $1.25B exit Everway CPO Amazon · Microsoft

Background

Decade-plus software engineer (real-time 3D engines, large-scale data systems) before moving into product leadership. Founding CTO of two venture-backed startups, both with successful exits. CPTO at SPINS through its $1.25B exit in 2020, owning a petabyte-scale data platform powering CPG analytics.

"The pattern is the same whether you're building for 50 users or 50 million: codify the expertise into agents, embed them where leverage is highest, ship the visibility layer, package the trigger."

The operator

Evan Shy

CEO · HTD Talent CEO · Coding Temple CEO · App Academy Operating Partner · Vitamin Capital EIR · P33 Chicago 2× prior founder

Background

CEO across three high-growth tech education and workforce companies — HTD Talent, Coding Temple, and App Academy — simultaneously operating a portfolio that placed thousands of engineers into Fortune 500s. Led the sale of Coding Temple as CEO after doubling the business, then led the M&A that brought HTD Talent and App Academy under one roof.

All of it happened during one of the worst stretches edtech has ever seen. The category was crashing. The business doubled anyway — through a mix of organic demand, inorganic acquisitions, and AI systems built across every function of the P&L. That's what let us restructure the org, strip cost out, and come out leaner on the other side.

Operating Partner at Vitamin Capital, working hands-on with portfolio companies on product-market fit and GTM. Previously Entrepreneur in Residence at P33 Chicago, where he launched the Speed Round initiative connecting operators to capital.

Three-time founder (hiitide, ShyTown, Integrated). Ran payroll, made the cuts, built the compensation plans, closed the enterprise deals, sat across from the CFOs who are now our buyers. Integrated exists because building AI systems inside a real P&L — across every major model provider, under real financial pressure — teaches you exactly where the wheels come off when you try to operationalize this in a business.

The dogfood test.

Evan spent two years building AI systems across every function of a real P&L — across every major model provider — before Integrated was a firm. Integrated's playbooks were built from the inside out, not assembled from case studies.

"Integrated's playbooks were stress-tested while building AI systems across the P&L — across major model providers — under real financial pressure. The test wasn't 'does this demo well' — it was 'does this survive payroll.'"

Selected experience

CEO · HTD Talent, Coding Temple, App Academy

Leading three workforce / tech education companies shaping how enterprises hire and upskill engineers. Multi-hundred-person orgs, Fortune 500 enterprise relationships, revenue across B2C, B2B, and B2G channels.

Operating Partner · Vitamin Capital

Hands-on portfolio operator. Product-market fit, GTM architecture, and commercial strategy for early-stage venture-backed teams.

Entrepreneur in Residence · P33 Chicago

Launched the Speed Round initiative — a flagship program connecting Chicago operators to institutional capital. Civic-scale GTM infrastructure.

2× prior founder

hiitide (wellness content platform), ShyTown (consumer brand). Integrated is the third. Built and operated against the same payroll-ceiling wall our clients are hitting now.

Two years building AI systems across a real P&L

Built AI systems across every function of his own P&L — across every major model provider — long before they were packageable product. That's how Integrated's playbooks got stress-tested.

The bench

Two principals. A bench of senior practitioners.

Tim and Evan lead every engagement personally — that's the accountability line. Behind them sits a rotating bench of senior operators and builders we bring in as the work demands: staff-level AI engineers, revenue operators from SaaS unicorns, product managers from enterprise platforms, data engineers, GTM analysts, and deployment specialists who have run the playbook inside their own companies.

We don't resell juniors. The bench is hand-picked, vetted through work product, and scoped per engagement so you always know who is touching your system and why.

AI engineers

Staff-level builders who have shipped production agent systems at enterprise scale.

Revenue operators

RevOps, SDR leadership, and demand architects from venture-backed SaaS companies.

Product & engineering leaders

Former PMs and EMs from enterprise platforms — the people who've actually run the roadmap.

Data & platform

Data engineers and platform architects for the underlying memory, retrieval, and governance layers.

Deployment specialists

Change-management operators who get systems into daily use inside real teams.

Design & narrative

Brand and product designers for customer-facing surfaces where the system meets the market.

Why architect + operator

Most AI agencies are a one-person show with a prompt library.

We built Integrated specifically because that model fails at the moment of deployment. The best systems never land. The best operators ship brittle systems. The dyad exists because shipping AI that compounds inside a real business needs both — and clients deserve both.

When you engage Integrated, you get Tim thinking through the architecture and Evan making sure it runs. No hand-offs to a junior. No subcontractors. Two principals, one accountability line.
