CTO-level leadership, sized to what you need.
Three engagements, from a few hours of senior judgment to full-time ownership of your technology function.
01 CTO Advisory
Confidence on consequential decisions: ongoing counsel for founders, CEOs, and boards who need experienced judgment without a full-time hire.
Best for teams with engineering in place who need senior direction on the big calls. Format: retainer, with regular sessions and access in between.
Investment: by engagement
02 Fractional CTO
Accountable technology leadership and predictable execution: embedded 1–3 days per week, owning the technology function.
Best for companies that need a CTO's outcomes without the full-time salary and equity. Format: ongoing, 1–3 days/week, month-to-month with notice.
Investment: by engagement
03 Interim CTO
Temporary full-time ownership: continuity for the technology function during a transition or leadership gap, until a permanent hire is in place.
Best for leadership gaps and turnarounds. Format: fixed-term, full-time.
Investment: by engagement
Technology Due Diligence
Understand the technology risk behind the deal before it becomes your problem. A scoped engagement for PE, VC, corporate development, and boards evaluating a transaction.
Investment: scoped per engagement
Questions
Fractional vs. part-time vs. interim: what's the difference?
A fractional CTO works a few days a week on the decisions that carry the most weight: strategy and architecture. An interim CTO steps in full-time, temporarily, to fill a gap. Advisory is lighter counsel, a few hours a month. We offer all three so the engagement matches the need.
How much does a fractional CTO cost?
Engagements are priced by scope and intensity, typically a fraction of a full-time CTO's all-in cost. You'll get a clear quote after the first conversation.
How long is a typical engagement?
It depends on scope, complexity, and team maturity. Every engagement has a clean hand-off built in from the start.
Will you work with our existing team?
Yes. The goal is to make your team stronger and more independent, not to create reliance on one person.
Do you only work in insurance and fintech?
Those are where we go deepest. We work across regulated SaaS where compliance, security, and scale all matter at once.
Not sure which engagement fits?
That's exactly what the first call is for. 30 minutes, no pitch.
