How an owner decides what to build, what to buy, and when to leave it alone.
Using AI on your own business data.
What an owner can build on their own, and where it stops.

Short bio
About Alejandro
Alejandro Morales is the COO & Co-founder of STOA, based in Durham, NC. STOA is the tech and software team for small businesses that don't have one. It builds the piece a business's main software can't do, next to the software it already runs. It also acts as a fractional CTO for businesses that need a technology lead without a full-time hire.
He works business first: what the operation needs comes before any tool, AI included. He builds AI into the systems small businesses already run, and says plainly where it pays off and where it does not.
Alejandro leads the XPX Triangle chapter as President, chairs public relations for Rotary Capital City, and coaches in UNC's ECON 125 program. He was born in Venezuela, lived in Spain, and speaks English and Spanish.
