Fractional CTO.Executive technical leadership.
Get the strategic and technical depth of a senior CTO without the $400K+ salary. We sit on your leadership team, set technical direction, and make the calls that move the business.
- Founders without a senior technical co-founder
- Mid-market companies with engineering teams but no CTO
- Companies preparing for a fundraise, audit, or acquisition
- Businesses where the marketing team is bottlenecked by tech debt
What a fractional CTO does for you
Six concrete responsibilities — not vague “advisory.” We sit on the leadership team, ship deliverables, and own outcomes.
Tech Strategy & Roadmap
We translate business goals into a technical plan: what to build, what to buy, what to retire, and in what order. Quarterly reviews keep priorities honest as the market moves.
Architecture Review
Sit with your team and surface the architectural decisions that are silently capping growth — data model, service boundaries, third-party dependencies, where complexity is leaking.
Vendor & Tool Selection
When it's time to pick a CRM, data warehouse, CDP, or any other foundational tool, we run the evaluation: shortlist, scoring, reference calls, contract review.
Build vs. Buy Decisions
We've seen the hidden cost of building everything in-house and the lock-in cost of buying everything off-the-shelf. We help you draw the line based on your actual leverage.
Engineering Coaching
For founders without a senior technical co-founder: we mentor your existing engineers, sit in on standups, review PRs, and help you hire when the time comes.
Security, Compliance, Risk
SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI — we'll tell you what you actually need vs. what consultants will try to sell you. Pragmatic, not theatrical.
