Fractional CTO & Tech Leadership
You've raised funding. Now you need a CTO. But a full-time hire costs $250K–$400K/year plus equity. We deliver the same C-suite technical authority on a flexible retainer — so you can scale your engineering without burning your runway.
Does This Sound Familiar?
No Technical Leadership
You have developers but no one to set the architectural direction, enforce standards, or make the hard calls on build vs. buy.
Engineering & Business Misaligned
The team is shipping the wrong things. Sprints go sideways. The board asks tech questions no one can answer confidently.
Vendor Chaos
You're paying external agencies but have no way to verify code quality, timelines, or whether you're being overcharged.
Board-Level Technical Authority, On Demand
We don't just advise — we execute. We step in as your technical co-pilot and drive the decisions that let your business scale.
Technical Strategy & Roadmap
Aligning your product roadmap with actual business goals, revenue targets, and fundraising milestones.
Team Structure & Hiring
Designing your engineering org, defining roles, and helping you hire A-players who can actually ship.
Architecture Oversight
Ensuring the code written today won't collapse under the scale you're planning to reach in 18 months.
Vendor & Agency Auditing
Ruthlessly reviewing 3rd-party work to stop financial bleeding and enforce the standards your product deserves.
How We Engage
The Architecture Audit
A brutally honest assessment of your current codebase, team structure, and infrastructure. Delivered in 2–3 weeks as a fixed-fee engagement ($5K–$15K).
The 90-Day Battle Plan
A prioritized roadmap to stabilize systems, close critical gaps, accelerate delivery velocity, and align engineering with your next funding milestone.
Ongoing CTO Retainer
Monthly retainer from $8K/month. We run your technical strategy, sit in on leadership calls, and transition out cleanly when you're ready to hire full-time.
