About Stackstone

We sit on your side of the table.

Stackstone Advisory is an independent technology advisor. We don’t sell telecom, software, or hardware. Our work is helping you evaluate what you are being sold and what you are paying for it.

Why Independent Matters

Most "advice" about your technology spend comes from someone trying to sell you something.

Carriers, resellers, and vendors all have a number they want you to land on, and it isn't the lowest one. We have no product catalog. Stackstone is supplier funded, and the amount of that compensation does not determine which of the available options we recommend.

How We Work

A trusted second opinion, not another vendor.

  • Independent. Stackstone is not owned by a vendor and does not resell vendor products.
  • Collaborative. Your existing partners are collaborators, not competitors.
  • Transparent. How we're paid goes in writing on every engagement, before you sign.
  • Practical. Focused on implementation and measurable ROI, not theory.

Who You'll Work With

Founder-led, by design.

The person analyzing your contracts is the same person whose name is on the door. Direct access, no account-manager layers, and advice that doesn't have to clear a sales quota.

How We're Paid

Transparent about how we earn.

The assessment is free.

Stackstone is supplier funded. When a client purchases an eligible service through our partner channel, Stackstone may receive a commission funded by the supplier through those partner relationships. We do not currently charge clients hourly rates, retainers, fixed project fees, or a percentage of savings.

We disclose how Stackstone may be compensated before you commit to an engagement. More detail: how technology advisors get paid.
