Why HTS exists

We spent years inside HCLTech and LTTS building the GTM motions that won private equity work. The same pattern showed up every time.

Smart firms with real delivery capability would lose deals to weaker competitors who happened to package their work better. The losing firm would walk away thinking the issue was pricing, or relationships, or the offshore model. It almost never was.

The issue was that PE buyers — sponsors, operating partners, portco CEOs — don't have the time or context to translate broad capability decks into specific outcomes. They need offers built for them, not for a generic enterprise CIO. Most IT services firms haven't done that translation. They sell what they know how to sell, and they wonder why the calls don't convert.

Harvard Technology Services exists to do that translation work — and then to build the engine that puts those translated offers in front of the right buyers, every week, at volume.

How this runs

Two clients. Six-week build. Ongoing operation.

HTS runs as a focused practice, not an agency. Maximum two concurrent clients. The first six weeks are an embedded build phase — offer productization, narrative work, sponsor and operating-partner targeting maps, sequence calibration, and live engine launch.

From week seven, the engine runs every week and we run it with you.

Monthly retainer model. 30-day cancellation, no long-term lock-in. 2.5% success fee on closed engagements that came through the pipeline.
