Your startup needs technical leadership, not just developers. Get a CTO with 20+ years of experience guiding architecture, strategy, and team growth at a fraction of the cost.
You have developers writing code, but nobody making sure it is the right code. Without technical leadership, startups accumulate debt: wrong architecture, bad hiring decisions, security gaps, and infrastructure that breaks at scale.
Strategic technical leadership tailored to your stage. Not a consultant who writes reports. A builder who rolls up their sleeves.
Regular reviews of your codebase, architecture decisions, and technical direction. Catch problems before they become expensive.
Align your technical roadmap with business goals. Prioritize what to build, what to buy, and what to skip.
Help hiring engineers, structuring your team, and mentoring junior developers into senior contributors.
Audit your security posture, implement best practices, and prepare for SOC 2, HIPAA, or other compliance requirements.
Set up CI/CD, monitoring, alerting, and cloud infrastructure that scales with your growth without breaking the bank.
Translate technical progress into language investors understand. Join board calls. Provide technical due diligence support.
20+ years building software across healthcare, fintech, PropTech, IoT, and government systems. Led engineering teams from 2 to 20+. Shipped products that process real money, manage real patients, and control real hardware.
As your fractional CTO, you get direct access to someone who has made (and learned from) every architectural mistake possible. No middleman. No project manager translation layer. You talk to the person making technical decisions.
