Fractional CTO & Technical Advisory for Founders
Non-technical founders and early-stage leadership often struggle to make critical technology bets: should you build microservices or a monolith? Which cloud provider fits your runway? Is an agency quote realistic or inflated? Our Fractional CTO advisory gives you direct access to senior engineering leadership. We help you choose the right tools, vet developer candidates and agency proposals, and craft a realistic engineering roadmap that matches your fundraising milestones.
Built as part of our Tech Consultation practice. We deliver production systems with clean source code handover, zero ongoing agency lock-in, and structured project milestones.
