Hypershift Technologies is celebrating its five-year milestone in providing secure IT expertise and cybersecurity solutions. Co-founded in 2019 by Nathan Reynolds and Gary Greenberg, the forward-thinking consultancy has grown exponentially from a post-pandemic idea into a thriving consulting practice, serving clients with strategic IT guidance and cutting-edge solutions.
Based in Virginia, the company brings optimal consultation and comprehensive cloud, IT, and cybersecurity to optimize the overall digital infrastructure. With over two decades of experience in the IT services space, Reynolds first made his mark during the pre-cloud era, building his initial business around hardware consulting and services. After exiting that company in 2018, he re-entered the industry with a reimagined vision shaped by years of change and insight. “If I were to do what I know well, which was my first business, but fast forward it to 15 years later, to me, it looks like Hypershift,” Reynolds stated.
Launched after a year of intensive research and development, Hypershift was built to address the new realities of enterprise IT. Subscription-based models, globalized teams, and a highly connected world have redefined the business landscape. “We saw that offshoring and nearshoring had become more accepted and that customers were moving away from capital purchases and toward subscription-based procurement,” Reynolds added.
The company has positioned itself as a specialized partner, augmenting internal IT departments with deep expertise rather than replacing them. “We employ the digital equivalent of neurologists,” Reynolds said. “We don’t try to be all things to all people. Instead, we focus on the kind of complex high-impact projects that internal teams don’t often do.”
What’s most remarkable is that Hypershift rose during a time Reynolds calls a “trust recession.” At the height of COVID, when Hypershift began its operations, it was an unproven name without clients, credentials, or capital. “It was extremely risky,” Reynolds recalled. “But we were able to build trust over a time when there was very little of it to go around and in industries that require trust more than most, like legal firms, financial institutions, and nonprofits.”
That trust is now the ethos of Hypershift’s culture and client relationships. “There’s no window dressing here,” Reynolds said. “In a saturated market, what differentiates us is humility, care, and respect, not just for our internal team, but for every single customer. We do the right thing, whether it benefits us or not.”
This deep value system has earned Hypershift loyal clients and steady growth, even as the company resists the temptation to scale at all costs. Reynolds emphasizes that future expansion will be deliberate and aligned with their founding principles. He said, “We’re focused on measured, consistent growth and maintaining a high quality of life for our clients and our team.”
As for what’s next, Reynolds points to macroeconomic trends and emerging technologies like AI as key factors shaping Hypershift’s path forward. Already, AI has streamlined the company’s co-managed IT services, cutting labor time by 40% and improving delivery speed and accuracy. “I don’t know exactly where we go from here,” Reynolds said, “but I do know that it will probably look a little different each year. Our job is to stay open, adaptive, and ready.”
Five years in, Hypershift stands as a testament to the power of integrity, adaptability, and putting people first. “We guard and cherish every relationship,” Reynolds said. “Whatever we’ve got to do to make our stakeholders successful, that’s the course we stay on.”
