Team
Who runs Integrated.
Integrated builds, buys, and invests in businesses for the long term. Two principals lead the work and are personally accountable for it, backed by a bench of senior practitioners we bring in as the work demands.
Exited Founder, CEO, and Investor
Evan Shy
Background
Evan has spent his career building, financing, operating, acquiring, and selling companies across founder-led, venture-backed, and private-equity-backed environments.
He founded a company, raised venture capital, and completed Techstars NYC. He later led Coding Temple through three and a half years of growth and acquisitions, helping double the business and integrating several acquisitions into the private-equity-backed platform that followed. Earlier, he designed and led SpeedRound at P33 Chicago, which helped 35 companies raise $35 million in its first nine months.
Today he leads Integrated and its Capital Lab programs for founder-support institutions.
Understand the business before selling the story. Make the economics and accountability clear. Get involved only where judgment and execution improve the result.

Exited Founder, CPTO, and Investor
Tim Alvis
Background
A decade-plus software engineer, working on real-time 3D engines and large-scale data systems, before moving into product leadership. Founding CTO of two venture-backed startups, both exited. CPTO at SPINS through its $1.25 billion exit in 2020, where he owned the petabyte-scale data platform behind its CPG analytics.

Most recently Chief Product Officer at Everway, a post-merger global EdTech company backed by Five Arrows, with a 37-product portfolio and a 100-person product, design, and program organization.
The pattern is the same whether you're building for 50 users or 50 million: codify the expertise, embed it where the leverage is highest, and make the results visible.
