Get to know Anthony Francavilla

Fractional CTO/CPO & Consulting Software Engineer

I'm Anthony Francavilla, and I love helping growing businesses solve their toughest technology challenges. As the owner of View2 Solutions, I bring the same strategic thinking and hands-on engineering that large enterprises rely on to small and medium businesses that need it most.

What I do best: I design and build technology solutions for my clients that truly move the needle. This includes engineering high-performing, search-optimized websites (including high-converting e-commerce sites) and implementing CRM systems your team will actually use. And when it comes to AI, I help businesses cut through the noise and focus on putting it to work practically. My approach combines big-picture strategy with roll-up-your-sleeves execution.

Entrepreneurial Success: As co-founder and CTO, I bootstrapped Cohomefinder.com and 8z Real Estate. Under my product and technology leadership, we built Colorado's #1 real estate website, attracting over 160,000 registered users and millions of monthly views – outperforming local and national portals. This platform fueled our successful brokerage launch and culminated in a profitable exit, selling my 50% stake. Having navigated the journey from a fledgling small business, I deeply understand the challenges my entrepreneurial SMB clients face.

Enterprise experience: As VP of Application Development at Seurat, I grew and managed a 45-person software engineering team delivering complex web-based applications for Fortune 500 clients like RE/MAX, Procter & Gamble, and ConAgra. This combination of startup grit and enterprise scale gives me perspective on technology challenges at every business stage.

Where it started: My career began at NOAA, where I co-invented and patented an internet-based radar control system and developed data acquisition applications for environmental sensing instruments supporting weather and climate research.

Education & Certifications
M.S. in Software Engineering, University of Denver
B.S. in Computer Science, Metropolitan State College of Denver
Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) and Certified ScrumMaster (CSM)

My Colorado Roots: Born and raised in Colorado, I have a lifelong love for the state's mountains and am an avid skier, finding my balance and energy renewed in the great outdoors. I also enjoy giving back and seeing young athletes grow as a youth flag football coach.
