Build Together
CTO Advisory Services
Get senior technical leadership without the full-time executive cost. Strategic guidance, architectural decisions, and team leadership tailored to your stage and needs.
Growing companies often find themselves at a crossroads: the technical decisions are too important to make without expertise, but not yet complex enough to justify a full-time executive.
We work with founders and leadership teams to set technical direction, build engineering culture, evaluate technology investments, and mentor growing teams. Our goal is to provide the guidance you need now while helping you build toward the day when a full-time CTO makes sense.
Leadership, not just advice.
Consultants deliver recommendations and leave. A fractional CTO is embedded in your organization—attending leadership meetings, working directly with your team, and taking ownership of outcomes.
- Strategic direction. Set technology strategy aligned with business goals and growth plans.
- Team development. Mentor engineers, establish processes, and build engineering culture.
- Risk management. Evaluate technology investments, vendors, and technical hires.
- Growth preparation. Build foundations that scale as your company grows.
Fractional CTO services include:
- Technology strategy - roadmaps, architecture, and investment decisions.
- Team leadership - mentoring, hiring support, and process design.
- Stakeholder communication - board presentations and investor updates.
- Vendor evaluation - technology selection and partnership assessment.
Our Approach
We've served as technical leaders for companies from seed stage through successful exits.
Our fractional CTO engagements are designed to provide real leadership, not just advisory.
- 1.Assess and align. We start by understanding your business goals, current technical state, and team capabilities to establish priorities.
- 2.Embed and lead. We integrate with your leadership team and engineering organization, attending key meetings and taking ownership of technical outcomes.
- 3.Build and transition. We help you build the team and processes you need, and when you're ready, we help hire and transition to a full-time CTO.
Most engagements range from 1-3 days per week, tailored to your stage and needs.
