Fractional CTO
Senior technical leadership, without a full-time CTO hire.
Get experienced technology leadership for strategy, architecture, team structure, and critical decisions — at the level of involvement your company actually needs right now.
What it covers
What a typical engagement can include.
01
Technology strategy
Align technical direction with the business plan and the next funding or growth milestone.
02
Architecture & technical decisions
Make and document the decisions that are expensive to reverse.
03
Engineering team structure
Shape roles, rituals, and responsibilities as the team grows.
04
Hiring & vendor evaluation
Assess candidates, agencies, and technical proposals.
05
Security & scalability
Identify risks before they become incidents.
06
Technical due diligence
Prepare for — or support — investor and partner technical reviews.
When it makes sense
- You're a non-technical founder making technical bets
- You have developers but no technical leader
- You're preparing for fundraising or due diligence
- You need to evaluate an agency or outsourced team
What shapes scope & cost
- Hours and availability needed each month
- Team size and number of stakeholders
- Whether hands-on engineering is included
- Duration of the engagement
What we need from you
- Access to the team, codebase, and key decisions
- A regular cadence for leadership conversations
- Clear expectations on decision rights
Scope, availability, and responsibilities depend on the agreed engagement. We define these clearly at the start so everyone knows what the role includes — and what it doesn't.
