Board-Level Tech Leadership.
No Full-Time Overhead.
You need a CTO. You don't need a $350K salary, equity negotiation, and a 6-month search. Our fractional CTO service gives you senior technology leadership — architecture reviews, team mentorship, board presentations, and strategic roadmapping — exactly when and how you need it.
Everything a full-time CTO would own
Our fractional CTO engagements cover the full scope of technology leadership — from day-to-day engineering guidance to board-level technology strategy.
Technology Roadmapping
Quarterly roadmaps aligned to business objectives — prioritized by ROI, not engineering preference. Presented to boards and investors in terms they understand.
Architecture Reviews
End-to-end reviews of your current stack and infrastructure. We find the scalability risks, security gaps, and technical debt before they become incidents.
Engineering Team Leadership
Weekly availability for your engineering leads. We mentor senior engineers, establish engineering culture, and help you retain the people who matter.
Hiring & Team Building
Job spec reviews, technical interview design, candidate evaluation, and org structure advice. Build the right team the first time.
Vendor & Build/Buy Decisions
Unbiased evaluation of build vs. buy vs. partner decisions. We have no vendor relationships to protect — just your best outcome.
Board & Investor Presentations
Technology strategy presented at the board level. We translate engineering complexity into business impact your investors can evaluate.
The right fit
- Founders and CEOs who need a technical co-pilot but aren't ready to hire a full-time CTO
- Companies between CTOs navigating a leadership transition
- Growth-stage companies scaling their engineering org for the first time
- Boards that need technology accountability without a $350K+ annual commitment
- PE or VC-backed companies needing credible tech leadership during due diligence
When it's not the right fit
We'd rather tell you upfront than take on an engagement that won't deliver value.
- Companies that want a hands-on builder day-to-day (see our Custom Software service)
- Early-stage pre-product startups (we're best when there's a team to lead)
Our fractional CTO brings 40+ years of enterprise engineering and product leadership — having architected systems for Fortune 100 boards and CIOs. Technology leadership that shows up in the repo, not just the boardroom.
