Get a 15-year technical architect on your team for a fraction of the cost. Strategy, architecture review, code audits, and team mentoring — the judgment of a full-time CTO, sized to what your stage actually needs.
Senior, fixed-price expertise scoped to your goals — with reporting you can actually use.
Define your technology roadmap and architecture strategy. We align technical decisions with business objectives, evaluate build vs. buy decisions, and create execution plans your team can deliver.
Review your current architecture for scalability, security, and performance gaps. We identify technical debt, recommend modernization paths, and design systems that scale with your growth.
Provide technical leadership to your engineering team. We run code reviews, establish engineering standards, mentor senior developers, and improve code quality and velocity.
Deep audit of your codebase for quality, security, and maintainability. We identify critical vulnerabilities, performance bottlenecks, and refactoring priorities with clear remediation plans.
Create a technology roadmap that supports your business growth over 12–36 months. We plan migrations, evaluate new technologies, and ensure your tech stack evolves with your needs.
We evaluate whether your infrastructure and content architecture are ready for AI agent integrations and AI-search visibility — a factor increasingly part of technical due diligence and fundraising conversations.
From audit to ongoing optimization, structured so you always know what happens next.
We assess your current technical landscape — architecture, team capabilities, code quality, and technology stack — identifying critical gaps and quick wins.
We develop a technology strategy aligned with business objectives, creating a prioritized roadmap and establishing the standards your team needs.
We guide implementation of key initiatives — architecture changes, technology migrations, process improvements — working alongside your team with hands-on guidance.
We provide ongoing technical leadership through regular office hours, architecture reviews, and strategy sessions — your trusted technical advisor for critical decisions.
A fractional CTO is a senior technical leader who works with your company part-time — typically 10–20 hours per month. You get the strategic thinking and experience of a full-time CTO without the $250K+ annual salary and equity: architecture guidance, code reviews, team mentoring, vendor evaluation, and technology strategy.
Most clients start with 20 hours per month — enough for weekly strategy sessions, code reviews, and ad-hoc guidance. Some scale down to 10 for lighter engagement; companies going through major migrations may need 30–40 during critical periods.
Consultants deliver reports and leave. A fractional CTO becomes part of your team — we attend standups, review PRs, mentor developers, and provide ongoing technical leadership, invested in your long-term success, not just billable hours.
Companies with 5–50 engineers benefit most — large enough to need strategic technical leadership, but not yet ready for a full-time CTO. This typically means Series A–B startups and growing mid-market companies, especially those preparing for fundraising or major launches.
Deep expertise in modern web technologies — React, Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, Python, PostgreSQL, AWS, GCP, and Kubernetes — plus legacy systems and enterprise architectures. We evaluate technology objectively, recommending what's right for your context, not a fixed stack.
Yes — increasingly this is a standard part of architecture review, not an add-on. We evaluate API design for AI agent integrations, content structure for AI-search visibility, and infrastructure decisions that anticipate AI-driven traffic and usage patterns.
Yes. We help prepare architecture documentation, code quality assessments, and scalability narratives that hold up under investor technical due diligence — a common reason companies bring us on before a raise.
Get senior technical leadership without the full-time cost. Architecture, code reviews, team mentoring, and technology strategy — starting at 20 hours per month.
