Fractional CTO and technical partnership
Some decisions are expensive to get wrong: the architecture, the first engineering hires, the build-or-buy calls. We help you make them with someone senior in the room.
As a fractional CTO or technical partner we join your planning, review the work, and help your team grow — for as long as you need, not longer.
You need this when
- You are a non-technical founder working with an agency or freelancers
- An investor asked for a technical due diligence
- Your team is growing faster than its processes
What you get
- Fractional CTO
- Architecture review
- Tech due diligence
- Team augmentation
- Roadmaps
- ADRs
- Code review
- Hiring
How it runs
Blueprint first, then build.
- 00
Discovery
Workshops, constraints and the one metric that matters. You leave with a written scope and a price.
- 01
Blueprint
Architecture, data model, clickable prototype. Decisions recorded as ADRs you can read in five minutes.
- 02
Build
A demo and a deploy every Wednesday, with two working days left to watch it live. You see working software, not status reports.
- 03
Launch
Load tests, security review, monitoring and a launch-day runbook. Then we’re on call with you.
- 04
Scale
Performance, new features or a clean handover to your own team — your choice.
What does a fractional CTO do?
Sets the technical direction, reviews architecture and code, helps hire and onboard engineers, and represents technology to investors and partners — a few days a month.
Can you review work done by another agency?
Yes. You get a written, plain-language review of code quality, security and risks, with a prioritised list of what to fix.
Do you help with hiring engineers?
Yes: role definitions, technical interviews and onboarding, so new engineers are productive in weeks, not months.
