# Mountaintop Solutions > Mountaintop Solutions is a vendor-neutral technology advisory firm serving growth-stage companies in the Mountain West. It helps companies choose the right technology, build a clear strategy, and lead their teams. Much of the advisory work carries no cost to the client because it is funded by technology suppliers through a brokerage model, with a commission earned only if the client chooses to work with a recommended vendor. Founded by Thomas Purdy, the firm combines cross-industry delivery experience with practical, outcome-focused judgment. Tagline: "Elevate your business." ## How the no-cost model works - The client describes a technology challenge through a free assessment or a call. - Mountaintop evaluates vendors and strategies that fit the client's goals, not its supplier relationships, and returns an honest recommendation. - If the client chooses a recommended vendor, that supplier pays Mountaintop a commission. The client is never obligated to select any option, and pays no advisory fee for this work. ## Services - [Technology Brokerage](https://mountaintopsc.com/services/technology-advisory/): Vendor-neutral identification and evaluation of suppliers across software, SaaS, cloud, infrastructure, telecom, security, and AI. No cost to the client; the supplier pays a commission only if the client moves forward. - [Technology Advisory](https://mountaintopsc.com/services/technology-advisory/): Strategy aligned to business goals, including technology roadmaps and executive planning. Retained engagement when guidance goes beyond vendor selection. - [Fractional CTO](https://mountaintopsc.com/services/fractional-cto/): Senior technical leadership for growth-stage companies that have outgrown their current leadership, without a full-time executive hire. Retained engagement sized to the company's stage. ## Industries served - [Professional Services](https://mountaintopsc.com/industries/professional-services/): Practice management, billing, client portals, and compliance tooling. - [SaaS and Software](https://mountaintopsc.com/industries/saas-software/): Developer tooling, cloud infrastructure, QA, and engineering leadership. - [Retail and E-commerce](https://mountaintopsc.com/industries/retail-ecommerce/): POS, inventory management, e-commerce platforms, and fulfillment integration. ## Region and engagement Based in the Mountain West (serving markets such as Denver, Salt Lake City, and Boise) with remote-capable delivery nationwide.
