Why We Started
Giving small businesses a competitive edge
Hypsipylon was founded in 2016 by Carmine R. Servidio, who has decades of experience in banking, financial analysis, and operational leadership. Having family and friends who are small business owners, he saw firsthand the challenges they faced - from struggling to understand their business finances to lacking access to the comprehensive expertise that helps larger companies thrive.
More importantly, he heard a consistent frustration: small business owners didn't want consultants who would analyze their situation, make recommendations, and disappear. They wanted someone to work with them through the actual implementation and ongoing challenges.
Hypsipylon was established to bridge this gap - providing small businesses with both the expertise they need and the collaborative support they want, working alongside them to build stronger, more successful operations.
Our Difference
How we are different
We work collaboratively with leadership to analyze challenges, develop customized solutions, and support implementation. Our comprehensive approach spans from discovery through development, execution, and follow-up, ensuring solutions are practical and promote lasting success.
We engage your entire organization throughout this process, building understanding and adoption at every level. This sustained involvement allows us to provide ongoing support and make adjustments based on actual results, ensuring long-term success rather than temporary improvements.
Our Focus
Who we help
We work with small businesses and law firms that are starting up, growing, restructuring, or facing challenges but are ready to build systematic solutions for sustained success. Our clients may lack dedicated staff for finance, operations, technology, or risk management, but recognize the need for reliable support to manage these critical functions.
Our work strengthens internal capabilities while providing sustainable solutions suited to each organization's scale and complexity.
