A real, accountable human owns your technology outcome — not a chatbot, not a ticket queue. Phuc Vinh Truong is Founder & CEO of Solace, and he personally onboards every customer.
Harvard '98, Economics · Bilingual English + Vietnamese · Based in Greater Boston
Phuc has been building software for 35 years — it started in the 4th grade, when he won the Boston citywide coding contest at age 9. Since then he has founded six companies, several of which became real, durable businesses.
That track record is the point: Solace is not a first-time founder's experiment. It is what someone who has shipped software for three decades — through regulated, high-stakes industries — decided to build next.
Won it in the 4th grade. The start of 35 years of shipping.
The diploma. The software came before it and never stopped.
One of six companies founded — grew into a real business.
A leading eSource platform in FDA-regulated clinical trials. High-stakes, audited, real.
The customer-owned AI technology department. What comes next.
Find the unglamorous, high-stakes work — and make software that actually holds up.
Most AI companies give you a platform and wish you luck. Solace gives you a technology department with one accountable person on the hook for the result. Phuc reviews the architecture, sets the priorities, and answers for the outcome — the way a real CTO does.
